Exciting month of music making. I’ll be in L.A. on the 10th to hear the JACK Quartet and Mak Grgic premiere my new piece, as the crow flies. This was commissioned by the Da Camera Society.
Then on the 13th my new piece for 3 flutes, hashimoto, is being performed at Weill Hall (at Carnegie Hall) for the A4TY Program at Bloomingdale School of Music.
And finally, my band Empyrean Atlas is doing a show on the 22nd in Williamsburg at 7 Dunham w/ Julia Easterlin, Tony Castles and Conrad Winslow. Our new CD will be available (starting on 2/19), so it’s kind of like an undercover CD release party too. Hope you can make it.

Just finished the new piece for the JACK Quartet and Mak Grgic, commissioned by the Da Camera Society and premiering in L.A. on 2/10/13. Very excited to hear it!
Leading up to then, the Philip Glass Ensemble will be touring in London, Amsterdam, Groningen and Ghent to play Koyaanisqatsi, Einstein on the Beach and La Belle et la Bete.
I also just created a new multimedia page to highlight some of the collaborations I’ve done in the past year. It’s always inspiring to work with artists in other fields, and with some potential new projects percolating I’m looking forward to doing more of it!
