Darrett Adkins ’91, Assistant Professor of Cello at the Conservatory, along with Ronald Copes ’71 and his ensemble, the Juilliard String Quartet, received an enthusiastic review of their recording of Quintet for Strings by 15-year-old American composer Jay Greenberg in the August 27 issue of The New York Times. Regarding the musicians, the Times predicted: “If Mr. Greenberg can still enlist such compelling interpreters as his music matures and deepens, he will be a fortunate composer indeed.” The album, recorded for the Sony Classical label, also featured Greenberg’s Symphony No. 5 performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.
