This theatrical miniature has carved a unique place in music literature, thanks to many warm hearts and minds. In 2005 the distinguished violinist Kelly Hall-Tompkins started a project called Music Kitchen where the homeless and needy, after a meal provided by a soup kitchen, were treated to a concert performed by some of the best musicians in New York. After these concerts, Hall-Tompkins asked the listeners for comments. This became inspiration for Zwilich’s MUSIC KITCHEN INTERPLAY, which includes vocal settings of listeners’ comments in musical counterpoint with reworked fragments of her Fantasy for Solo Violin.
