Congratulations to Queensland Symphony Orchestra Principal Bassist Phoebe Russell for her Bottesini Concerto performance with orchestra.
Check out this video of her practicing the cadenza, and listen below to our conversation with her from earlier this year.
Remembering Tony Osborne
Barry Green recently performed Simón García‘s “A Broken Heart”, written in memory of Tony Osborne.
Barry writes:
I played this piece for the first time at our Temple honoring the the one year ‘yeartzite’ anniversary of the Pittsburgh Tree of Life Synagogue massacre. Tony Osborne memorial concert will be March 29th at Ditton Park Academy in Slough, UK, directed by David Heyes I’ll be honored to participate in the event and perform this piece by Simón García and other pieces of Tony Osborne.
