Program Notes

The majority of my program notes are found in Evenings with the Orchestra: A Norton Companion for Concertgoers (New York: W. W. Norton, 1992). Notes for UCD Symphony Orchestra concerts draw freely on the book (and vice versa: the book drew freely on UCDSO notes); see the individual programs linked HERE.

The faculty of music provided the program notes for the SSO from the 1980-81 season to the 1984-85 season. I was editor of the project, working with Alzeda Forbes, then of the SSO, soon to be proprietor of The Avid Reader bookshop in Davis.
