The latest preview of the American Music Festival is a great overview from Arts Critic Geraldine Freedman that includes thoughtful interviews with Music Director David Alan Miller and composer Christopher Theofanidis.

“The pieces we’ve commissioned are a wonderful mixture of poignant beauty, humor and suffering that are a wonderful preview of a post-pandemic art and with fascinating presentation,” Miller said.
