When did composers become non-performers? We can trace the tradition of the composer-as-performer back to the beginnings of western classical music. This 4th Annual Composers Play Composers Marathon, presented at the lower east side's most excellent venue Drom NYC, explores the connection between composers and their given instruments, as well as how composers go about writing music in which they know that they will be the performer. This matinée event features no fewer than 30 different composers performing on their own succinct solos, duos, and trios. http://www.dromnyc.com/events/2077/composer-play-composers

With such a star player can naturally trumpet concerto, that of Haydn, not missing. Andris Nelsons The stormy underway conducting career Andris Nelsons has quickly solid form adopted by the RCO.
