writes:
This is the first time in history that a symphony orchestra tours
extensively performing the music of an African American composer. This composer is Primous Fountain. Planning is underway for
the USA tour portion of this historic world tour, after the successful
first concert in Europe. The orchestra of this tour is the National
Symphony Orchestra of "Teleradio - Moldova", and its music director and
cultural icon, Gheorghe Mustea, stands firmly beside the works of Mr.
Fountain.
Recordings of the National Symphony Orchestra of
"Teleradio - Moildova" performance of Fountain's music, from the first
concert of the world tour in Europe, can be heard at the 'Primous
Fountain World Tour' webste at - http://www.primousfountain.com/
