Andre Previn is in Rochester this week, to receive an honorary doctorate from the Eastman School of Music. He will also hear the Eastman Wind Ensemble premiere a piece he wrote for them “Music for wind orchestra (no strings attached).”
Previn celebrated his 85th birthday in April. During his long and diverse career, he has written Oscar-winning movie scores, played piano on noted jazz recordings, conducted the world’s finest orchestras, and is now focusing on composing.
He is in residence at the Eastman School this week. His music, including the world premiere, is featured on a concert Friday night at Eastman’s Kilbourn Hall.
