  One of my very favorite contemporary Classical music composers, urlLink John Corigliano has released a new Concerto, according to urlLink this interview from The Associated Press . The reason why I like Corigliano so much is probably because he's one of the few composers I've actually met, in addition to urlLink Lukas Foss and urlLink Pauline Oliveros . While still at urlLink B-W I was fortunate to meet Foss and Corigliano during urlLink FOCUS Festival events.
I attended a Masterclass given by Oliveros during my senior year, and since there were, maybe, 10 of us in the class, there was a lot of one-on-one time with the composer herself. Anyway, Corigliano, in my opinion, has an impressive oevre, from song cycles (with text by Dylan Thomas...yum! ), to concerti, to symphonies, to film scores, including urlLink The Red Violin , which I love.
