Aaron Jay Kernis serves as guest composer at Bowling Green New Music Festival, October 17-20

Berlin Philharmonic cellist Tamas Varga premieres Kernis’s Blues for Mr. Z at Budapest Music Center on October 8

Audiences at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix will be treated to what the San Diego Times said “For lovers of contemporary American music, nothing could exceed Late Night with Leonard Bernstein, which delighted and, even thrilled, a packed house … Those in attendance will not forget this delicious evening.”

The Saint Louis Symphony performed Kernis’s musica celestis, which KDHX radio called “a work of transcendent beauty,” saying “The title translates as “heavenly music” and to my ears it fully lives up to that title, building from a quiet opening to an ecstatic peak before fading out in the highest reaches of the strings, as though ascending to heaven.”

Gramophone magazine on the new recording of Aaron Jay Kernis’s violin concerto by James Ehnes with the Seattle Symphony and conductor Ludovic Morlot: it’s “entertaining, dazzling, smile-inducing, toe-tapping music…Kernis is the preeminent orchestral showman of the age.”

“For lovers of contemporary American music nothing could exceed “Late Night with Leonard Bernstein,” according to The Times of San Diego, which saw the show at La Jolla SummerFest and said it “delighted and, even thrilled, a packed house. Those in attendance will not forget this delicious evening, narrated by Nina Bernstein Simmons, daughter of by the late great American composer.”
