Composer David Del Tredici will be celebrating his 75th birthday at LPR on April 12th with performances by the Orion String Quartet and Fireworks Ensemble. The ensembles will be performing the world premiere of “Felix Variations for solo trombone,” the New York premiere of “String Quartet No. 2,” and “A Field Manual.”

This night will shine a light on the varied oeuvre of David Del Tredici.
