Thank you for a great show! Such a diverse and incredibly gifted group of artists! The way and ease with which David followed the connections and underlining influences between composers, styles, and genres was simply ingenious. This was an airwaves debut of Ricky Ian Gordon’s new CD with soprano Melanie Helton (www.andflowerspickthemselves.com), and what an honorable company!!! Thank you!
