The fruit of my labor, ripe for your enjoyment

In describing the agony of child birth to me, an inexperienced man, a female acquaintance of mine once said that it was “like trying to shit a watermelon.”

That’s about what it felt like for me to write this review, but now it’s over and done with, and I’m a proud daddy.

Read about the American premiere of Bright Sheng’s Northern Lights, and the world premiere of Anthony Newman’s Sonata Populare, as well as old music by dead white European dudes.

Enjoy, but watch out for seeds!
