Description
Concertante Diversion by J.B. Smith is a 6 player ensemble with a CD accompaniment. This electronic component makes the piece only able to be executed if the players have an excellent sense of time and ensemble awareness. The piece is 12 minutes long and is high energy throughout, and portrays a fun "conversation" between the soloists and ensemble.
