Professional Context
The performance represents international professional dissemination of Vanderburg’s creative work through the International Clarinet Association’s ClarinetFest®. Ensemble Lirica performed the six-movement Letters to the Poetry Editor for tenor, clarinet, and piano as part of its July 9 conference program. The appearance places Vanderburg’s work before a specialized international professional community and documents dissemination of his acoustic vocal-chamber writing beyond NDSU. The surviving program confirms the performance, although documentation currently available does not establish the precise selection or adjudication process used for the 2023 program.
