Huh. The combo of Stevie Wonder and classical music doesn't really appeal to me.... I mean, really? Stevie Wonder? I actually cringed at that thought.

I recently went to a Toronto Symphony Orchestra performance of this piece, composed in 2007 by John Corigliano, and performed by the great Evelyn Glennie, for whom it was composed

I do have the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, but as I'm turning into a broke college student at the end of the month, I don't think I'll be able to afford tickets to their performances. Thank you for the suggestion though. I'll look up the composer you mentioned

I'm listening to the mp3's on Christopher Rouse's Myspace as I type. I'm liking his music a lot.
Thanks for that suggestion!!
