Mostly Modern Festival - June 2018

7/23/2018

1 Comment

 
Earlier this June, I had the incredible opportunity to be a part of the inaugural Mostly Modern Festival, held at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. The festival, founded and organized by Robert and Victoria Paterson, was an incredible success!

Every aspect of this festival was so well-organized and encouraging and I am deeply grateful to all of the wonderful composers, musicians, clinicians, and organizers, who made this one of the highlights of my summer!

Below are a few videos and recordings of my pieces included in the festival.

"Ricercar" and "II. The Flood" from Chamber Symphony 'Beams of Heaven'
Originally submitted for the orchestral readings, these two movements from my in progress chamber symphony were selected to be premiered with the American Modern Orchestra and directed by Martim Sousa Tavares.
Selections from Paul Klee: Painted Songs
These three movements from my ongoing series were composed for the American Modern Ensemble. They are part of a larger set of Klee settings (Gallery II). The world premiere was conducted by Lauren Tian.

No. 13 "Rose Garden"
No. 17 "Carnival in the Mountains"
​No. 22 "Dream City"
Triptych from Paul Klee: Painted Songs
In addition to the premieres by the American Modern Ensemble, Bradley Bascon and Tom Valdez premiered a set of three pieces from Paul Klee: Painted Songs on one of the chamber music concerts.

No. 18 "Intoxication" for solo violin
No. 20 "Unstable Equilibrium" for violin and violoncello
No. 16 "In the Magic Mirror" for solo cello
