Carol Worthey and Ray Korns hosted this year's National Association of Composers, USA annual winter Holiday House Concert at their Hollywood home. The program, as usual, featured works composed by Los Angeles Chapter composers.

Carol Worthey's work, "An Iridescent Splash in Liquid Time" (Flute-Piano Version) led off the program ably performed by Tamara Maddaford, flute and Deborah Aitken, piano. Margaret Meier's "Life's Best Gifts" a vocal/piano work in three parts: 1. Commitment, 2. The Poet and the Baby and 3. Contentment followed sung by mezzo-soprano Jenni Brandon with Margaret Meier at the piano. Pianist Evan Acevedo next played a work "Dark Night" by composer David Zea. Marshall Bialosky presented a work "Six Lyrics of Dorothy Parker" for solo voice sung by soprano Linda Alexander.

The Price Duo: Berkeley, clarinets and Deon, piano performed Joan Huang's "Dog Tales from the Orient" consisting of: 1. Pekinese Dog Lion, 2. Wedding Song, 3. Faithful Pooch, 4. Heavenly Dog Star and 5. Tibetan Pug. Jenni Brandon returned to sing her composition "Four Japanese Songs" entitled: 1. When I went out in the spring fields, 2. Clinging, 3. You Say and 4. I Have Always Known with Deon Price accompaning on piano. Next, Deon Nielsen Price entertained us with her humorous Chinese resturant menu suite entitled: "Yellow Jade Banquet" on the piano. Finally, Berkely Price on clarinet was joined by Tamara Maddaford, flute with Deon on piano to end the concert with her "Love Theme" composed for the film The Light.

Everyone had a delightful time. The entire concert was professionally recorded and copies are available from NACUSA LA.
