Read all about it in “Warning—This entry may compel you to attend a concert” from the WV Symphony blog, where Betty King tells the story, along with comments from Boston Conservatory professor Karl Paulnack.
For more from the Montclaires, listen to Jim Lange's story about them preparing to play George Crumb’s Black Angels.
