“Go Northeast, Young Company!”

Well, those words were not exactly said, but we are going northeast next month, to the National Flute Asso- ciation Convention in Washington, DC. If you happen to be there, do come by and visit our booth, number 521. We’re going to be taking with us almost 60 pieces by over 20 composers!

Walker Gives Talk

Last month, John Walker gave a talk on Latin American choral music at the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) Con- vention in Austin Texas. Entitled, “A Stylistic Critique of Latin American Choral Composition,” Walker was one of nine out of many hundreds to have been selected to present at this special conference on Latin American choral music.

Our People in the News

Samuel Robles reports that last month two of his works published by Cayambis Music Press were performed:  in Panama, as part of the Festival Musicarte, violinist Graciela Núñez played Tres preludios para una cabanga, and in the Boston Conservatory, clarinetist Kayondra Reid presented Cabangueando.
Federico Núñez wrote to inform us that his work for bass flute and guitar, Without Anything, was premiered by Sebastián Tellado and Manuel Moreno on July 7 in the Payró Theater in Buenos Aires. In addition, he received an Ars Nobilis prize for composition and on July 11 the Armonía Opus trio premiered his work, Luminiscencias veladas, for clarinet and bassoon.
