Kansas City -- The Garden Suite compact
disk (which was made possible by grants from reStart Incorporated, Symsonic
Music, Gary
Ross Productions, the American
Music Center, and the Muriel McBrien Kauffman
Foundation) is now available to the public who donate to reStart, a
United Way Agency with a mission to serve homeless individuals and
families in the Kansas City area.
The Garden Suite CD features performances by four
great Kansas City musicians. Shannon Finney, associate principal
flutist with the Kansas City Symphony, is well known in Kansas City
chamber music circles having appeared for many seasons with the popular
chamber music ensemble, Summerfest. Elena Lence Talley's clarinet has
been heard both in and out of Kansas City in chamber music performances
with the Lyric Arts Trio, the Mariah Wind Trio, and in appearances with
the major professional orchestras in Kansas City. Ann Bilderback is the
Kansas City Symphony's principle bassoonist and has performed in that
post for several seasons now. Robert Pherigo is the pianist at Unity
Temple on the Plaza in Kansas City, has appeared with New Ear ensemble,
sings tenor in both the Kansas City Chorale and the Lyric Opera
Express, and is an able composer himself.
The Garden Suite, composed by David Olen Baird , is
a musical garden tour exploring our physical and spiritual
relationships with nature through the metaphor of the garden. The music
has been described as “very natural and enchanting” and “fluent and
full of imagination”.
