John Luther Adams SILA

I was part of the huge ensemble to premier SILA: The Breath of the World by John Luther Adams, outside at Lincoln Center.  The clarinet/bass clarinet parts involved microtones and movement, and it was thoroughly beautiful.  I don’t think I’ve ever performed for so many people.
