Tanglewood Presents US Premiere of Alexander Goehr's Since Brass, nor Stone...

This year Tanglewood's Festival of Contemporary Music features the US Premiere of Alexander Goehr's Since Brass, nor Stone... on August 15. Having earned Goehr a British Composer Award, the work was praised by that panel of judges for its “fresh lyricism, lightness of touch and joy in melodic and rhythmic invention.” The panel’s decision was unanimous for a work which they hailed as that of a master. We look forward to celebrating Alexander Goehr’s 80th birthday in 2012.
