Jennifer Higdon, who has a familial connection to Portland, will be returning to oversee the Oregon Symphony rehearsals and performances of her Percussion Concerto (2005), with percussion superstar Colin Currie. It will be a great pleasure to see her, and I hope to have some sort of special blog feature on her available during that time (perhaps even a first-ever *gasp* podcast!).
