Live from the Kennedy Center
An overflow S.R.O. crowd turned out Saturday night at the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage to hear the Potomac String Quartet perform works by Quincy Porter and myself. The evening was doubly enjoyable because my piece, The Soldier's Return was dedicated to my wife Jessica on her 40th birthday in 2001 and last nights performance was on her birthday!
