I’ve never met the BMP folks in person – they started up around the time I returned to the US at the end of 2004, and have been going strong since. They chose the score from Nino’s stash, and according to director Marc Moncusi the group is having a blast with it!

The interesting part about this is that Crows is probably the most “American” sounding (for what that’s worth) piece I’ve got to offer, which means it is going to sound really different than the rest of the program. Inspired by the poetry of awesome Joy Harjo, it lands you in the middle of the desert Southwest.

Wondering how this is going to work??! Barcelona people, you should check it out and report back! Be sure to stop at La Plata afterwards for pescaditos…
