The following words, written by Stowe decades ago, still ring true today:

Listening and viewing are totally different experiences from actually putting fingers on the keyboard, drawing a bow over a string, blowing a horn, or tapping a xylophone. They are different from applying paint with a brush to paper, or shapinga piece of clay. Sitting and watching a ballet, no matter how inspirational, cannot be compared to the revelation of moving, leaping, pirouetting, reaching, and turning one’s awkward body into an instrument capable of expressing beauty and aspiration. To enroll at Third Street is to engage in these discoveries. It is an active, personal experience of growth. And we believe that this rare, precious, challenging, and meaningful opportunity is the essence of Third Street.

This was followed by a recording of the works of composer Meyer Kupferman on the Soundspells label. Other recordings have been for CRI, Albany, Bridge and Furious Artisans. This fall the Anderson/Forsyth duo performed at the Festival Internacional Camerata 21 in Xalapa, Mexico, and will be presented as part of the Ebb and Flow Arts Festival in Hawaii.
