Our fourth and final concert on our Appalachian tour found us in beautiful Parkersburg, WV. We also pleasantly found ourselves among our most enthusiastic crowd. Although many in the audience had never heard the music of George Crumb, and were likely not fully aware of the joys that contemporary classical can bring, they nevertheless relished in the rich sonorities created by pianist Marcantonio Barone, and percussionists Bill Kerrigan, Greg Giannescoli, David Nelson, and Brenda Weckerly. After the performance, "Voices from the Heatland" by George Crumb, the audience proved quite inquisitive and enjoyed the opportunity to join the musicians on stage and learn about the many techniques utilized throughout the piece and to see George Crumb's beautiful hand written score.
