Dear Friends and Fans,
Summer was capricious and hot in Boston filled with lots of practice, collaboration, planning, house work, and I received my medal from Société Académique ARTS–SCIENCES–LETTRES of Paris, France! I'm extremely excited to celebrate the award at the French Cultural Center (9/21) and Wellfleet, Cape Cod (9/23) with baritone Matthew Hoch. I also spoke with Dan Kepl for Performing Arts Review and Mike Maino for Conducting Conversations regarding the new season, becoming a
musican & John. Cage. Guitar.
The 2019-2020 Season is full of new works, debuts, collaborations, and travel. After the success of 'Legend of Hagoromo' I have challenged mysef with the complete 'Pictures at an Exhibition' by Modest Mussorgsky. The first concerts featuring the complete 35+min will be in Germany and Massachusetts in October & November.
New works featured this Fall include Thomas Schuttenhelm, Stephanie Ann Boyd, Agustin Castilla-Ávila, Alan Hovhaness, and John Cage. The spring will hear new guitar+electronic compositions by Tom Flaherty, Lou Bunk, and Lainie Feffermen, as well as Carnatic Preludes, After J.S. Bach by Vineet Shende.
