BIOGRAPHY:

"The evening's hero was Palmer himself, shaping the performance with fluency and authority, and eliciting splendid playing from the orchestra. The first sign of things to come, in fact, was the superb rendition of the Act I prelude, done with a robustness and clarity that most ensembles could only envy." --Joshua Kosman San Francisco Chronicle
