AfriClassical asked what works will be performed. Maestro John McLaughlin Williams replied:

Aside from the arrangements I wrote for Thornetta Davis, we're doing Copland's An Outdoor Overture, Duke Ellington's Fantasy, Arthur Benjamin's Jamaican Rhumba, and José Pablo Moncayo's Huapango. 

Thanks!

1) Thanks Bill! [John McLaughlin Williams]

2)  This is a MUST see concert. Unfortunately, at this date, air transportation from Los Angeles is prohibitive. Best,  John Malveaux

3)  Thanks John. Thornetta is really something. I wouldn't expect you to make the trip out here for this show, but I hope to be out your way one day with LA Phil.  All best, JMW
