Congratulations to Armando and to his soloists, the large ensemble of professional and student musicians, the sound designer, and to the NGA for this humanistic musical programming. The Washington Post chief music critic did attend, and wrote a respectable review in this morning’s paper (Tuesday).

Louis Andriessen was in attendance (as was Roger Reynolds, the last times I.M. Pei’s National Gallery East Wing Atrium was used for contemporary music). Too bad the concert could not also have been presented the day before, Saturday night, at the Millennium Stage inside the Kennedy Center mega-lobby and broadcast over the internet.
