In honor and dedicated to their 100th season, “to the boy from Venus, with love,” was commissioned for the University of South Carolina School of Music Freeman Concert Series 2024-2025. Named after philanthropist Cornelia Freeman, this Sunday concert series is renowned for its collaboration with “music faculty in fresh and vibrant chamber music programs that pair canonic masterpieces alongside brand new musical works.” These concerts are designated and designed to help raise scholarship money for gifted music students respectfully.
