Featured Composer: Lawrence Wolfe
September 17 and 19, 2004

Lawrence Wolfe has been composing for most of his life. After joining the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1970, where he is now assistant principal bass and principal bass of the Boston Pops, he was invited to write an overture by Pops Assistant Conductor Ronald Feldman. The result was the much-praised "Fanfare," soon followed by a trumpet concerto (premiered by John Williams and the Pops), a number of popular songs, four musicals, and additional instrumental compositions. A recent work for solo trombone and concert band won top prize in the British Trombone Society's Composer Competition.

The BCO performed the world premiere of Mr. Wolfe's composition "Motives" (after Mozart K. 279) on September 17 and 19, 2004.
