IN JANUARY: Jonathan Nichol Recital

Saxophonist Jonathan Nichol performed Ruggiero's concert arrangement STRAYHORN with his father, pianist John Nichol. This doctoral recital was in the MSU College of Music's Music Auditorium.

FORTHCOMING RECORDINGS

AUR Recordings, based in Arizona, is exploring the possibility of releasing in 2008 the Capitol Quartet's recording of Ruggiero's DIG-JSB1 both in North America and Europe.

Central Michigan University's Eclectic Trio (Joanna Cowan White, flute, Kennen White, clarinet, and John Nichol, saxophone) plans to release their recording of Ruggiero's ECHOES OF 'PIANO RED,' a work that they commissioned, sometime in 2008 or 2009.

Future Recording Projects: Joseph Lulloff hopes to record Ruggiero's NIGHT SONGS AND FLIGHTS OF FANCY sometime in the next year, and Caroline Hartig plans to record Ruggiero's SPIRIT AND FLESH for her forthcoming CD of solo clarinet music (date n/a).
