eighth blackbird: reflections...



i had the pleasure of actually being at the performance when this was taped. the entire show was quite an experience. this piece, Reflections was my favorite.

they are a Chicago & Virginia based group with members working not only in performance but also instructing at university; the University of Chicago and the University of Richmond in Virginia.

eighth blackbird was honored at the Grammy Awards the other night as the winner for Chamber Music Performance album of the year in the classical division for their album Strange Imaginary Animals. It was produced on the Chicago based Çedille Records label.

I sure hate those letters below; you've got to be darned sincere and patient to 'post' when those things stare at you. Diane
