Live Stream of Lecture Recital

Here is a link to a live stream of the lecture recital for this Saturday 24 September.  This is the first time Gabe and I have tried something like this, so we’re hoping all will go well.  The stream should start at 6:00pm.  The recital starts at 6:30pm, and the stream will continue until the very end of the recital.

If you can’t make it to Morphy Recital Hall in the Humanities Building in Madison, WI, then I hope you’ll at least be able to tune in!

Lecture Recital: 24 September 2011

Just another formal announcement that my second (and final) DMA lecture recital is 24 September 2011 at 6:30pm in Morphy Recital Hall in Madison, WI.  Gabriel Pionkowski’s installation will be up 21-28 September in the Dvorak Gallery in the Humanities Building.  Also joining us are:

Morgann Davis, flute & piccolo
Rosemary Brumbelow, clarinet & bass clarinet
Peiyun Lee, violin
Christine Liu, viola
Emily Gruselle, cello
Sean Kleve, marimba & vibes
Brett Walter, glockenspiel, crotales & triangle
Jennifer Hedstrom, piano

We had our first rehearsal just this past weekend, and it was absolutely fabulous!  I think this performance’ll be quite a show!  Come if you can!

“Via the Void”

I just now finished my newest work, music for Pierrot ensemble and two percussionists, called “Via the Void.”  (In fact, I just finished printing off the score a couple minutes ago, having spent the better part of this past week “engraving” the manuscript in my notation program.)  The music will feature on my second (and final) lecture recital on 24 September in Morphy Recital Hall in Madison, WI.  This recital also features the work of Gabriel Pionkowski, whose ideas inspired this music, and whose work will feature as an installation in the first-floor lobby of the Humanities Building.

As always, more details to follow…

Lecture Recital: 3 March 2010, Jacob Druckman’s “Dark Upon the Harp”

So, I’ve started preparing in earnest for my lecture recital.  A fabulous group of performers is joining me to bring this setting of psalms to life.  This is an early Druckman piece for mezzo, brass quintet, and two percussionists.  I’ll be conducting, something I’m very excited to do, as I haven’t conducted at a recital venue in quite some time.

Please join me if you can at Morphy Recital Hall on the UW-Madison campus in the Humanities Building at 8:30pm on 3 March 2010.  I’ll be speaking first and then we’ll be treated to a performance.

I haven’t decided if I’m going to do the traditional “read the paper” thing.  I’d rather not, but I’ll see how it goes as the date looms.
