Kaye Royer
Clarinetist and Teacher
“Jim McGrath’s 5-minute ‘Serenade for Clarinet and Wind Ensemble’ shines the spotlight on Kaye Royer…It is whimsical, to say the least, but gives her plenty of opportunity to show technical skill, grace, and beauty of tone.”
– American Record Guide, July/August 2017
