The magic continues Tuesday, February 1 with Carl Schimmel’s The Pismirist’s Congeries, winner of the Lee Ettelson Composer’s Award; Eric Lindsay’s whimsical So I want to write a piece about John Cage; Robert Greenberg’s exuberant piano quartet Funny Like a Monkey; Don Freund’s up-tempo Rough and Tumble, and Mystical Phantom Kick Technique by emerging Bay Area composer David Waugh.

Finally, join us March 25, for the Andrew Imbrie Celebration. Featuring clarinetist John Sackett and cellist Jean-Michel Fonteneau, this will be Composers, Inc.’s contribution to a series of events honoring this extraordinary composer. Program to include works of Imbrie as well as new works written in tribute by his students and colleagues Hi Kyung Kim, Richard Festinger, Yehudi Wyner and David del Tredici.
