Paul Brantley has been commissioned by Maestro Kenneth Kiesler and the Grammy Award winning University of Michigan Symphony to compose THE ROYAL REVOLVER, a concertino for solo cello and 15 instruments.
Eric Jacobsen, cellist and conductor of The Knights, will be the cello soloist. This will be premiered in the 2016-2017 season in Ann Arbor. Details TBA.
