From May 20 - May 30 I will have the pleasure of being part of the 2016 Alba Music Festival Composition Program with several other composers from around the world. Here is the full list of fellows and more information about the program.
Last winter and spring, I composed a new piece for the resident ensemble -- a quartet for Trumpet, Violin, Violoncello, and Piano called Scompiglio Melodioso "Melodious Disarray." I will have the chance to workshop the piece before the premiere, take classes with the resident faculty and musicians, and listen to world-class performances of music as part of the festival's concert program.
Also ... being in Italy for 10 days should be a nice change of pace coming off a pretty wild months of travel and premieres ... and then summer!
(Will post recordings of the premiere afterwards!)
