Current Projects 2013

Spring update 2013….

  • Ben Kaplan and I are planning summer and fall performances of our Sheetflow Songs in New York and the mid-Atlantic area. We’ll be in Delaware on June 28th and 30th. Details here.
  • I’m working on rewriting my piece, Microconcerto:Spontaneous Combustion; originally for piano and string quartet, I am reworking it for piano and electronics for a recording in September 2013 sponsored by Oberlin College and pianist Tom Rosenkranz.  Look for the recording to released in 2014.
  • On July 26-28, 2013 in NYC, I will be participating in the American Accordionist Association Master Class and Concert Series, performing a number of pieces for accordion, including a world premiere of a new solo accordion piece I am finishing, entitled The Waning Days of Raphus cucullatus, inspired by a fictional account of the dying days of the last existing Dodo bird.
  • I continue accordion lessons with the incomparable William Schimmel and have been have a great time working on a lot of challenging music with him, including solo pieces by Henry Cowell, Alan Hovhaness, Paganini, and jazz accordion legend Leon Sash.

Thanks for your interest! Hope to see you at a performance soon!

Sheetflow Songs recording available!

NY Times review of performance of Terry Riley’s IN C

July 4, 2011

This past weekend I had the great honor of playing accordion with a mixed chamber orchestra performing Terry Riley’s IN C as part of the Rite of Summer concert series on Governor’s Island. We put on two great performances and got a very nice write up in the NY TImes. See the link below for the review, in which I was very pleased to see my accordion playing mentioned. Special thanks to Blair McMillen for organizing this and bringing me on board!   Rite Of Summer IN C NY Times Review
