On March 24, at the Kimmel Center, the Grammy-nominated Temple University Symphony Orchestra and conductors Paul Rardin and Luis Biava came together with tubist Carol Jantsch and composer Michael Daugherty for a concert honoring Biava with the Boyer College Tribute Award and premiering Daugherty's newly commissioned "Reflections on the Mississippi." “In four movements named for things and moods associated with the river rather than for performance tempos, "Reflections" is an appealing, intensely melodic work,” said reviewer Marakay Rogers.
