Prof. Dominique-René de Lerma reviewed Legacy: Works For Bassoon By African-American Composers for the Myrtle Hart Society. The review was republished by AfriClassical on Sept. 3, 2008. Prof. De Lerma has alerted us to the fact that Lecolion Washington, Associate Professor of Bassoon at The University of Memphis, is also Founder and Director of the PRIZM Winter Chamber Music Festival of Memphis:
The Inaugural Season of the PRIZM Winter Chamber Music Festival will take place at Shady Grove Presbyterian Church from December 28-31, 2009
Student, adult amateur, and aspiring professional musicians are invited to join us for the 2009 PRIZM Winter Chamber Music Festival. Attendees will have daily opportunities to work closely with world-class musicians who reside in Memphis. Students will receive training in chamber music in particular, and they will also be given a foundation in the fundamentals of the collaborative arts process. http://www.prizmensemble.com

Please take a moment to join our mailing list! All students will have opportunities to perform and selected participants will be invited to perform chamber music with the festival faculty on an evening concert. Additional participants will serve with faculty as members of the PRIZM Festival Orchestra which will perform without a conductor, a model made popular by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.
