Ephemera
The legendary Dinosaur Annex will tackle Ephemera. I’m really thrilled to be working with them after a long time of knowing their work and admiring so many of their performers!
And don’t forget….. Feb 12-14 and 19-21. Switch, my very first work for stage, will premiere at Le Laboratoire, Cambridge. The absolutely amazing Laine Rettmer will direct! It’s been a while in the works, but this opera is picking up steam now. Can’t wait, and very much hope you’ll be there!
A few spring events are in the works! Details soon…….
Etchings 2015
Such an honor to teach again at Etchings. A really wonderful experience and a joy to make such great music with my friends. Thanks to all!
Etchings!
I’ll be teaching composition again this summer in the heart of France! WIth the inspiring help of guest Franck Bedrossian and Nicholas Isherwood, working with a new group of young composers will be pretty exciting. Plus, scenes from Switch, my upcoming opera, will be workshopped!
A brief post to share this latest premiere–just performed by Sound Energy. What a group! Last fall, they premiered Arachne–has been a great experience working with them!
