Trombone Concerto "Let Freedom Ring!"
1. Rosa Parks and the Freedom Riders
2. Remembering Birmingham, 1963
3. I Have a Dream

Featured on The Missouri Symphony Podcast: Wes Lebo





"Kangyi Zhang’s music has an open, natural sound – unlike the “hard edge” that we frequently associate with contemporary classical musical compositions. His unique voice integrates melodic ideas and traditional motivic development with a variety of modern ideas in composition and instrumental technique."
