I had the good fortune to sit next to her on a public transit bus in Philadelphia. What a nice person!

Seems to be wandering in a hundred years of sorrow and solitude From Tokyo where is full of the joys and sorrows of the human world

Bela obra com toques bem tradicionais de músicos norte-americanos como W. Schumann e A. Copland. Parabéns à regência de Denève e a excepcional acústica da Real Concertgebouw!!!!

I would give anything to study composition with Jennifer. Her work is moving.

[@KinkyLettuce]

except getting a spot at Curtis is the hardest thing ever

There are a lot of great composers who were lousy teachers. And visa versa.

[@coasterdragon155]

My teacher studied with her. He still talks with Ms. Higdon today.

Brava! Claude Debussy, Nitsuga Mangoré and now Jennifer have all fallen into the "spell" of a cathedral! Bravissima!!

The violins drowned out the piano passage. It would have been interesting to hear the chords that were assigned to the piano.
