I’m very excited about my latest piece, We Speak Too Much of Danger, for violin and piano and scheduled to be premiered by the fantastic and internationally acclaimed Gregory Fulkerson and Thomas Rosenkranz in September in Ohio, New York, and Delaware.

The piece is inspired by a recent trip to Havana, Cuba and uses as its starting point the rhythms of Afro-Cuban music. I had a great time writing this piece and working very closely with Greg and Tom through a number of drafts and revisions as we tightened and tweaked the work.

It will be featured on a program entitled “Beyond Minimalism” which will explore the progress of contemporary music from the late Minimal era into our current Post-Minimal era. The program will include music by Philip Glass, John Adams, Conrad Cummings, Peter Flint, Stephen Dembski, and Andrew Shapiro, much of which is new music written for Greg and Tom for this program.

On June 21 in City Hall Park, NYC, I’ll be playing solo accordion at 2pm (featuring jazz, classical, and maybe some original music) and then at 5pm I’ll be performing with an accordion quartet playing classical and contemporary music with Rob Duncan, Denise Koncelik, and Mayumi Miyaoka. In between there will be other accordionists performing as well. All part of the Make Music NY summer solstice festival. I believe the day will culminate in a massed accordion performance of Terry Riley’s In C at 7pm.

It promises to be good fun. Come drop by and hang out in one of NYC’s lovely pocket-sized parks!

At 5pm on June 10, I will be performing solo accordion music in Bryant Park, NYC for an hour as part of the Accordions Around the World Festival. It’s a great afterwork festival in the park every Tuesday, featuring six different accordionist playing in different corners of the park. You can wander around and take us all in.

I’ll be playing some classical, some jazz, as well as a few other more odd-ball pieces. Rain or shine. If it looks wet, they’ll put a tent over me!

So if you’re in the neighborhood, stop by after work and chill out in the park. Should be a very pleasant time.
