Remembering 2008 / 2009

2008 / 2009 was an exciting year for us, with many "firsts". After a trial year, we are officially announced our blog, which covers current events, interviews, and anything you want to discuss. After a precedent set in 07/08, we now host video clips and photos from all of our concerts on our website to help you share your concert experience with friends. Help us spread the word! In 08/09, composer Michael Daugherty joined us for a residency surrounding the 10/15 concert, and Alarm Will Sound chamber orchestra was in residence from 1/18-20, with events including a composer reading/recording session.
