Recorded October 30, 2016 at the Downtown United Presbyterian Church, Rochester, NY in a concert entitled "Fantasticus."

What’s Fantasticus??? The Fantastic Style in music is related to the art of improvisation, and was described as “…especially suited to instruments. It is the most free and unrestrained method of composing, it is bound to nothing…it was instituted to display genius” (Kircher).
