The Lady and the Clarinet was performed in Wellington (capital of NZ)
last year, or perhaps the year before. I didn't see it but I seem to
recall seeing a reasonably good review of it -- I don't think the
music was mentioned which suggests it can't be too bad. I know the
clarinettist who performed it (although not terribly well) so if
anyone wanted more information about the quality of the score I could
look up his address (postal that is, not e-mail).
