Jacob Cooper's Music at the Minnesota Orchestra

The Minnesota Orchestra is performing Jacob Cooper's Odradek on its Composer Institute Concert Conducted by Osmo Vänskä. Wow!

Sarah, Eric Anderson's wife sent me this note:

Hi Dick,

Nice of you to ask about Jacob! He's been composing for about 5 years now, mostly working on chamber music and electronic music for new music ensembles and scores for little independent and art films. The piece the Minnesota Orchestra is playing is one of a handful of full orchestral pieces he's written. You can find out lots about his music and hear some clips at his website. The premier next week is also going to be broadcast on Minnesota Public Radio, which you can stream live. We're very excited about it!

I hope you are doing well, and that the not-so newlyweds are, too.

Sarah

Gordy mentioned Jacob:

Dorothea and I went to the Minnesota Orchestra concert tonight. It reminded me that October 26th, Sarah's brother Jacob Cooper will be coming here to be part of a young composers' concert with the MO under Osmo Vanska. He's one of six that will have a work premiered by the MO in concert in Orchestra Hall. Sarah & Lucy and Martha and Neil will be here, too. Alas, Eric feels really bad that he can't make it, as he had agreed to a conference presentation that same night somewhere else and can't get out of it.
