The daughter of composer Roman Ryterband, Diana Eisele, stopped by the PMC on January 25 to deliver another installment in the Roman Ryterband collection. This latest addition is likely to be the final delivery of classical compositions by the Ryterband—future additions will be focused on his popular music and personal items.
