Jesse Ayers, Professor of Music
Jesse Ayers' composition "Dance of the Mountain Raindrops" for piano and string orchestra was broadcast twice over March 24-26 on Serbia's national television-radio network, RTS, according to an email Jesse received from concert pianist Dubravka Jovicic of Belgrade, Serbia. The 3/24 broadcast was on their national television and the 3/26 broadcast was on their national radio. Ms. Jovicic recorded Jesse's work in 1992 with the RTS Symphony Orchestra when it was selected for a then new TV series "World Premiere," a weekly program dedicated to premiering new concert works by living composers. Because of the the war which broke out at that time, it was not for 10 years or so that Jesse discovered that the work had been recorded and broadcast.
