The Ives Quartet also performed the June premiere of South American Scenes in a National Association of Composers, USA series concert at the Palo Alto (CA) Arts Center. The Kiev Philharmonic both premiered and recorded Homage to George Gershwin for orchestra in July, while Three Sierra Scenes for piano trio was premiered in November, in a Composers Performance Ensemble concert at the Palo Alto (CA) Arts Center.
