Jennifer Higdon is composer of the year pretty much every year, Eric E. Harrison writes in Thursday’s Arkansas Weekend section.
“I’ve been designated that with probably a hundred orchestras,” she says, including three major American orchestras during the 2012-13 season: with the Arkansas; the Cincinnati; and Wheeling (W.Va.) symphonies.
She’ll be in Little Rock for an almost week-long residency, attending orchestra and chamber music rehearsals and concerts, giving master classes to student groups and participating in a midday lecture-discussion.
