I’m late in posting this, but the Spring For Music series (which I mentioned earlier), teamed with NPR to make the performance the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra available to stream online. One of the pieces heard in this performance is a relatively newly commissioned work – requested from Maria Schneider (known primarily, if not exclusively for her jazz compositions) by soprano Dawn Upshaw. Even better? In this performance, Schneider is conducting.
