Abstract:
The North Carolina Symphony celebrates its seventy-fifth anniversary this season. In a tribute to the symphony, six of the state's composers contributed works to a new series entitled POSTCARDS FROM NORTH CAROLINA. The composers--Paul Elwood, Kenneth Frazelle, the late Roger Hannay, Stephen Jaffe, Anthony Kelley, and Robert Ward--were commissioned to write four-to-six minute pieces that convey what the North Carolina experience means to them. Sauls discusses the compositions.
