\"Holland-Honor\"<\/p>\n

Here is a photo of the premiere performance of\u00a0Frank Stemper’s “The Persistence of Honor,” in the Netherlands in 2009.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here is a link to what composer Frank Stemper believes is the best recorded performance to date of\u00a0\u00a0“The Persistence of Honor,”\u00a0his piece for cello and chamber orchestra. This performance was by The New Chicago Chamber Orchestra, conducted by\u00a0Edward Benyas, Music Director, with\u00a0Eric Lenz on cello, on\u00a0October 28, 2012 at\u00a0Preston Bradley Hall in The\u00a0Chicago Cultural Center:\u00a0http:\/\/www.frankstemper.com\/10ThePersistenceofHonor_000.mp3<\/a><\/p>\n

I reviewed this composition in a recent Culture Currents<\/em> blog\u00a0https:\/\/kevernacular.com\/?p=3450<\/a>\u00a0based on a live rehearsal performance conducted also by Benyas, with a student of Lenz’s, Richard Davis, on cello\u00a0on April 7 in Carbondale. I also referred to the score and this recording which is audible by clicking the “LISTEN” tab on Stemper’s website at\u00a0http:\/\/www.frankstemper.com\/STEMPER-COMPOSITIONS.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

There are three more of Frank Stemper’s works upcoming:<\/p>\n

JUNE 4<\/strong>,\u00a04 PM\u00a0Colorado State University,\u00a0So It Goes<\/i>\u00a0(1999),\u00a0Ensemble Pastiche<\/b><\/p>\n
