This program featured the music of Julia Perry (on the occasion of her centennial), Alan Hovhaness, Irving Fine and Arnold Schoenberg as part of the Library's Schoenberg at 150 celebration. Highlights of the program included Perry's Violin Concerto performed by Curtis Stewart and a modified version of Schoenberg's "Verklärte Nacht" with a new spoken text by Ling Ling Huang.
