Brass and Orchestra". https://soundcloud.com/indianapolis-symphony/sets/concerto-for-brass-and-orchestra
Please visit two new pages:
Concerto
for Trombone and Concerto
for Brass and Orchestra to get more information about Jim's
two newest works. Concerto for Trombone has been published
by Hal Leonard and played by several notable trombone soloists.
Dialogues is a four movement chamber work
commissioned by the Ronen Chamber Ensemble with added support from
the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis. It is
written for Clarinet, Violin, Piano, Bass and Percussion and is an
emotional reaction to the lockout experienced by the Indianapolis
Symphony in 2011. Listen to the slow movement titled "End
of an Era".
