I've just finished up a terrific four days at the RED NOTE New Music Festival Composers Workshop held at Illinois State University in Normal, IL. As one of eight participants, I had a lesson with Steven Stucky, gave a presentation on Short Stories, and had a piece rehearsed and premiered by the fabulous City of Tomorrow Wind Quintet. A big thank you to Carl Schimmel for running a very smooth festival.
The City of Tomorrow performed Word Salads Wednesday night on a joint recital with the Momenta Quartet. (Half the composer participants wrote string quartets, and half wrote wind quintets.) The wind quintet is a tricky yet awesome ensemble, and these guys gave a wonderful performance of my music. I can't wait to share the recording.
