New Recording and Performances of Bernard Rands's <em>Canti del Sole</em>

On April 5, the Oberlin Conservatory Contemporary Music Ensemble performed the chamber version of Bernard Rands's Canti del Sole, featuring tenor Magnus Staveland under the baton of Tim Weiss. Following this performance, Bernard Rands was in residency and recording sessions at Oberin Conservatory from April 6-7.

Later this month, pianist Joel Fan presents the Boston premiere of Rand's Four Impromptus in a solo recital at MIT on April 18.
