Program Notes:

August 30, 2012: "The freshman wind quintet meeting was decent. I'm not with Perry, but I am with Turi. That's cool. :-)"

More than ten years later, I am beyond thankful to still have Turi Scilipoti in my life. We'd kept in touch off and on since undergrad, but started to reconnect in a closer way this June. He is my favorite person to play duets with and, given the surprising paucity of large-scale flute/clarinet duets, this seemed to be the perfect Christmas gift.
