Picture of the Day – July 14, 2012

Here’s a photo from the 2010 Festival’s Local Composers Concert. Festival Director Daniel Morel introduces Carrie Koffman and Sheri Brown before they perform an arrangement of Tanya Anisimova‘s Caravan.

Originally composed for two cellos, Koffman and Brown performed a version for two alto saxophones. You can hear the composer and cellist Ole Akahoshi perform the original here.
