Yesterday I sat in on an absolutely fabulous rehearsal with Sean Kleve and Jennifer Hedstrom as they worked on my Percussion Duo. As ever, I enjoyed my time immensely working with them, and it’s always so rewarding listening to performers bring something I wrote to life. We also went over some performance practicalities, and I ended up making some adjustments to the score… notably, the very last chord to accommodate an otherwise very awkward placement of arms and hands for Sean.
The premiere will be 13 December at 7:30 at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery in Madison, WI. We also talked future collaborations with Clocks in Motion, something I took them up on immediately, as well as bringing the group to venues in Minneapolis.
