I am so delighted that we can combine our voices to give a virtual World Premiere of my newest composition, River and Tree. Writing this piece was a pure delight, as the images and emotions projected in the poem generated immediate musical images for me.
Now I look forward to hearing and enjoying it with all of you---virtually!
