I just found out I will be performing the Henry Cowell Harmonica Concerto with the American Symphony Orchestra in Jan 2010 at Lincoln Center in New York City.


I performed the World Premiere of the Henry Cowell Harmonica Concerto with Lucas Foss and the Brooklyn Philharmonic In 1986. The piece was written for John Sebastian, Sr. who never got a chance to do the premiere. Meastro Foss then conducted me in the Milwaukee Symphony performance of the work and the West Coast Premiere with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl. Lucas Foss was the person who started concerto career. Meastro Foss died this Sunday - he was a great conductor and composer.

I will miss him.
