SoundCloud.com: 'Trent Johnson Viola Concerto with Brett Deubner viola and Kiev Camerata'

Trent Johnson

Concerto for Viola and Orchestra [7:18] by American composer Trent Johnson. Written for and premiered here by Brett Deubner with the Kiev Camerata in Ukraine.

Trent Johnson is a composer, organist and conductor whose performances have been featured on AfriClassical for years.  Our principal familiarity with his work comes from a recording called The Halcyon Trio, which we have long enjoyed, and which is described at the composer's website:
