Spring continues…
Things continue to go well.
This past weekend, Peter Schueller premiered Epigrams Thrice Untempered, a work for tenor and chamber ensemble, staged by renowned opera director Ken Kazan. The performance went well and there will soon be a posted recording on this site.
I completed revisions of Spires Unceasing for the Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra. They begin rehearsals next week. I will conduct the California premiere in June before the piece goes abroad.
The Starving Composers’ Ensemble continues to prosper; in addition to premiering my chamber work Prope Silvam and the song cycle for Peter Schueller earlier this month, we performed two works by Austin Wintory this past Monday evening. The players are phenomenal and quite generous. We are as ever seeking grant opportunities. Video will be uploaded soon from the concert of Roger Zare’s wind ensemble works, as will an HD recording of Epigrams Thrice Untempered.
Tonight I rehearse Thornton CME again with Bolcom’s Orphée Sérénade. The concert, conducted by Frank Ticheli, will take place April 17. Next week I begin coaching DMA candidate Robert Gross’ guitar quartet, and will prepare to conduct works by Eran Schweitzer and Justin Ross.
Many thanks to all who have supported me lately. I look forward to a brief respite in early May.
