World Premieres of Long Island Composers with them present with the American Chamber Ensemble, Naomi Drucker and Blanche Abrams, Directors, performed at the Park Avenue United Methodist Church in New York

New York City USA

         A formidable concert of prominent American composers from the Long Island area gave a stellar concert of diverse styles and instrumental ensemble formats with this ensemble dedicated to promoting the valuable works of composers.  Programs and biographies galleried above attest to the high level of performance and this ensemble's popularity, having performed all over New York including Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, many times sold out.  Composers were present o explain their works and dedications, and legendary New York Philharmonic Soloist and Principal Clarinetist was a guest artist like many times before supporting the mission of this group.  This is the 43rd year of this group, started in 1978 and built up over this period to what it is today.  Credit is due with high marks for the growth and dedication to make this group what it is and for the directors who kept it alive and growing.  Naomi Drucker and Blanche Abram are to be credited with stars.
