"If there is a 'short list' of 21st-century composers to watch, I sincerely believe that Jennifer Higdon must be included. I urge everyone, including avoiders of classical music and lovers of classical music who fear the 'new,' to come and meet this major composer, listen to her music, and discuss it with her and with those performing it. I cannot think of a more enriching musical opportunity."
