So, I’ve uploaded the performance of the first two movements of my 11 Incarnations to YouTube. It’s just the audio of the performance. Although, I’ve edited things together to also include a little excerpt from a secondary text that describes the Doctor’s personality. I hope you enjoy!

Symphony Concert Streamed
Well, I’m just so absolutely pleased with the UW Symphony concert on the 25th. They all played so well… I couldn’t be happier. They’ve streamed the concert on the School of Music’s website. Please listen to the entire concert, as everyone played so well. My piece, if you just want to fast-forward, begins the “Part 2” link.
Just go here to listen. Find the Symphony concert listed on 25 February, click on that, and the rest should be clear from there.

Jen Lien and Vince Fuh Perform Aubades by Traci Brimhall
On 23 April 2011 in Morphy Recital Hall at the Humanities Building in Madison, WI, Jen Lien will sing the world premiere of my song cycle, Aubades, a setting of… er… aubades by Traci Brimhall. Lien and Fuh already performed a live reading of “Aubade with a Broken Neck,” the fourth and final song of the set, as a stand-alone version in spring 2009. I’ve since revised that one a tad and finished three others to precede it: “Aubade in a Burning House,” “Oneiromancy,” “Sonnet with Lightning and Bull Sharks.”
You can listen to an excerpt of the reading of “Broken Neck” from 2009 here.
Program Note
Here’s the program note for the upcoming performance of W.H. and P.T. Hopefully it’s to-the-point, especially for people who have no idea what Doctor Who is. (And if you don’t… you’re really missing out!) Again, 25 February at 8:00pm in Mills Hall at the Humanities Building in Madison, WI. UW Symphony performs with Prof. James Smith conducting. Also come to support the winners of the concerto competition!
