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!)
