George,
From all of us at Orchestra 2001 – past and present – it has been a gift and privilege to perform, premiere, and record so much of your music for thirty years, since 1988. We look forward to thrilling more audiences locally, nationally, and internationally with your genius! Cheers.

Visit Orchestra 2001 in studio #8 on Cherry Street Pier to create your own "ghost music" on our Moog Theramini! You can request an appointment with the Theramini by emailing info@orchestra2001.org. If the studio is open, you can walk right in and give it a try.
We've brought in the Theramini to celebrate the DRWC's incredible public art installation, Ghost Ship , October 4 through November 3 at neighboring Race Street Pier.
