Alan Rich so i ve heard
As one of the country s most important musical critics, Alan Rich had the opportunity to be part of an exceptional generation that helped shape America s cultural future. His wit, enthusiasm and strong opinions made him an essential component of many cultural movements. He was also a major champion of new music, working to help emerging artists gain exposure in a field that is notoriously short on such support. This is what led him to attend a series of concerts by Jacaranda, a young composer whose name may never have appeared on a concert program.
