ECLIPSE piano concerto creation for South Bend Symphony Orchestra

Composer Marjorie M. Rusche ECLIPSE Piano Concerto Creation

I am seeking funding for the creation of a piano concerto for chamber orchestra loosely adapted from my solo piano composition “ECLIPSE," which has been performed locally, nationally, & internationally; receiving many positive responses and reviews.

The 20 min. piano concerto will premiere March 15, 2026, by the South Bend Symphony Orchestra. ECLIPSE musically portrays a solar eclipse as well as humanity's search for personal and societal light against an onslaught of oppressive darkness.
