Musical tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsburg put together by Brooklyn College professor who has a knack for raising funds
The upcoming world premiere at the Dallas Symphony Orchestra today, Oct. 7, of a classical music piece inspired by the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg would probably have been impossible if not for a bunch of lawyers in the Chicago area; a Long Island arts foundation; and an award-winning pianist, composer and music professor who put the deal together.
Such is the art of financing new musical works in the midst of a pandemic.
Even in the best of economic times, finding funders for new orchestral works is typically difficult.
