Commissioned by the California Symphony Orchestra, Kevin Puts' Network (1997) is a short, explosive fanfare that, as Puts describes "wasn't inspired by anything in particular. It is driven by the pure enjoyment of chords and rhythm and orchestral sounds." More recent Puts compositions are in a more lyrical and Romantic style. We'll hear Network at 8pm on Aug 23rd.
