A few hundred people on stage. 12 movements. 168 pages. The piece of my life so far.

I’m grateful — and very excited — to share this live recording from Dresdner Musikfestspiele 2023. I’d be so grateful if you’d give it a listen.

Listen now at bit.ly/4oCA9Oa.

Being here and getting to know Thailand’s composers was a true pleasure.

Also wonderful to see Piyawat Louilarpprasert, Mahidol University College of Music’s new dean and fellow Cornellian and hatch some exciting plans for the future. Until next time Thailand!

It was an honor to share the stage and program with Narong Prangcharoen, Kee Yong Chong and Elson Kwong and their fabulous music for orchestra. This is the 20th year of the festival - a milestone for tireless director, founder and EXQUISITE host Narong.

I also got a chance to make it to the Oregon Coast and soak up the Pacific sun and the Northwest flora. What a pleasure to hear my friends Soovin, Paul, Beth, David, Burchard and Zlatomir give an incredibly rich and satisfying Brahms Bb major Sextet to close the concerts!

Lots of wonderful Guest Composers as usual, like Trevor Weston @treston9.bsky.social, Elise Arancio, and John Corigliano and Mark Adamo, pictured, who blew our minds and warmed our hearts.

Bravo Cyrano! Bravo Luke! As always, this won’t be the last we hear from the two of you!

It was a truly amazing performance, with Leila Josefowicz and Paul Watkins giving Herculean feats with (apparent!) ease in every single one of its 592 measures.

A true honor to join the heavenly violin soloist Nemanja Radulović on this program, Associate Conductor Moon Doh on stage to speak at Clef Notes and to see many Pittsburgh friends including dear Mary Persin.

My tiny ode to very big trees - the California Redwoods - makes its way to the big stage, all in the city in which I wrote it!
