Joining him is COP/ACF’s Steven R. Gerber Composer-in-Residence and Philadelphia Composer Andrea Clearfield as she premieres her new work for electric guitar. This concert is a true representation of COP’s philosophy of preservation through evolution – historic, fresh, fun, innovative…The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia.
