Joan Szymko is a composer and conductor of exceptional power and grace. Abundant lyricism, rhythmic intensity, and a deep respect for language are hallmarks of Szymko's diverse and distinctive writing. At times complex, sometimes deceptively simple, always eloquent – her highly crafted compositions speak directly to the listener with intensity, intuition and grace. "Openings" is Szymko's debut recording. It can be ordered directly from Joan Szymko for $15.00, plus $3.00 shipping and handling.
