Wonderful performance of my piano trio "Shadow Rhymes" by the incredible Congaree Trio (Ari Streisfeld, violin; Claire Bryant, cello; Phillip Bush, piano) at the Columbia Museum of Art.
Huge congratulations to @alarmwillsound.bsky.social and composer Donnacha Dennehy on their Grammy win this evening! Incredibly well-deserved!!
Southern Exposure concert featuring amazing performers Nadia Sirota & Gabriel Cabezas performing Donnacha Dennehy's luminous "Tessallatum." I'm proud to have started the series 25 years ago, and gratified it's still going strong directed by my friends and colleagues Michael Harley and David Garner.
Wonderful visit to Storm King. Such inspiring work.
Brilliant performance last evening by the amazing Splinter Reeds on the University of South Carolina's Southern Exposure New Music Series.
Yesterday, I heard the premieres of terrific new works by Mary Kouyoumdjian and Stephen Jaffe, commissioned by my friends and colleagues, Jennifer Parker-Harley (flute) and Mike Harley (bassoon). If you're a flutist or bassoonist looking for new repertoire, reach out to them at the University of SC!
Just rejoined Bluesky...primarily here for music, arts, and hygge.
