Dawn Anthony and I played voice and guitar jazz duet concert at Tate Hall in Charlotte, NC on March 18 2014. A recording of the concert is on the You Tube.
I’m please once again to be a part of the Charlotte New Music Festival as faculty composer (and have been for three years now). Working with graduate composers is always an interesting and engaging experience. Also working with such talented and dedicated performers as the Freya String Quartet and (as always) Anatoly Larkin is a fulfilling experience. Many thanks to all involved for this participation.
Alan Yamamoto presided over and conducted a concert of new works that is part of the Music and Museum series at the Bechtler Museum on October 27th. Ron Parks from Winthrop and John Allemeier from UNC, and I shared the program with some guy named Mahler. Working in concert with maestro Yamamoto were the Bechtler Ensemble and the Out of Bounds Ensemble for new music who both played a role in in making this concert a reality. A program of new classical works by living composers is a rare sighting in Charlotte. Perhaps this combined effort will begin to change that…
