Donald Erb Discography

On Sunday, March 29th at 7 pm, the CIM Composition Department is presenting A Tribute to Donald Erb. The concert features performances of the music of this distinguished composer by the CIM New Music Ensemble (Keith Fitch, director), Yolanda Kondanassis, Josph Connors, Alexander Pride and the CIM Orchestra with special guest conductor, Leonard Slatkin.

In recognition of this event, the Robinson Music Library has compiled a discography of  Donald Erb’s music held by the Robinson and Kulas Music Libraries.    We hope this encourages further exploration and appreciation of Donald Erb’s music.
