I'll be attending the Adacemie de Villecroze's composition masterclass this July, in the South of France, where I'll work with Bernard Cavanna. I'll have a new piece for ~~piano four-hands~~ string trio, soprano, and accordion (!) performed on July 31.
Spring concert recap: Rising, for 3-part chorus and any instrument(s) available, was given its complete New York premiere on April 17. Plus, Flying Forms, with help from a fall 2008 Composers Assistance Program grant from the American Music Center, premiered Nuevos Misterios to large, enthusiastic crowds in Saint Paul on March 26 and 29. And, Omie Speaks for saxophone quartet + electronics was premiered on February 13, 2009. Also, radio producer Sarah Elzas has produced a piece for Network Europe about the Saxophones en fęte festival, featuring an interview with me.
On the blog, posts on my past, tonal gestures in an atonal context, and orchestral writing.
