"These were winning partnerships, as was the ensemble’s interaction with Vimbayi Kaziboni, a dynamic Zimbabwean-born conductor. Bringing out the singular character of each piece, Kaziboni expertly balanced the myriad elements and gradations of dynamics and texture that were present in the program’s works."
