The concert led off with a trio, “the birds are nervous, the birds have scattered,” by Sean Shepherd, who is currently the Daniel R. Lewis Composer Fellow of the Cleveland Orchestra, which featured CIM students Gunnar Hirthe on clarinet, Ludomil Wojtkowski on violin and Daniel Parvin on piano.
Next up, a virtuoso performance by CIM student William DeLelles on the marimba, playing CIM director of composition Keith Fitch’s 2004 showpiece, “Manhattan Rolls,” a piece which required DeLelles to rehearse for more than a year.
Next was Shepherd’s “Trio” by CIM students Natalie Lin, Andris Koh & Daniel Parvin, followed by a Frederic Fox work, “Devil’s Tramping Ground,” featuring CIM students Jeiran Hasan, Tamer Edlebi, Benjamin Chen, Anthony Bracewell, Andris Koh, Daniel Parvin and Mark Stein, conducted by Keith Fitch.
