Our Composer-In-Residence is Demetrius Spaneas. His Prelude, Romance and Tango which we premiered at our April 1, 2007 concert was very enthusiastically received. We love Bach, Mozart and other Classical giants but our primary focus is on new music and presenting the works of living composers. We are still accepting submissions from composers for our 2007-2008 season. At this time we are only looking at music for strings and woodwinds. We are currently auditioning subs.
