Asaf Peres - Basically, this is not what we were looking for

February 25, 2009 - Rice University's Shepherd School Symphony Orchestra performs "Basically, this is not what we were looking for..." - which was my masters thesis piece. These guys are so good it's scary.
Other pieces on the program were Florie Namir's "Interruptions", and JR Paredes's "...And Silver Lining". Hopefully we will upload those as well soon.
Cristian Macelaru conducted this program. Many thanks to the conductor, the players, and the Shepherd School.
