Debra Kaye Featured in Composer's Concordance Festival

Tuesday, December 3, 2013 10:10 AM

Debra Kaye's piece, Three, is composed for a trio of pianos. She writes, "In thinking about this combination I became interested in the timbre of the three vibrating instruments and what might happen as they combine." The piece is included in the 3rd annual Composers Concordance Festival, the concert "Three's Keys" December 4 at 8pm. (NOTE: The concert originally scheduled for 7pm, now moved later to 8pm.)
