Watch Two Premiere Performances of “Wabi-Sabi”

On July 18, 2021, I had the great honor of attending three premiere performances of my latest string quartet, “Wabi-Sabi“!

What makes this piece so fun is that every single performance is going to be different from the last — that’s the nature of wabi-sabi… 🙂 So, below, enjoy two videos of two premiere performances — two interpretations from two very talented groups of students from the Chamber Music Institute of Southern California — during the concert on July 18!

“Butterfly Lullaby” Additional Instrumentation

Originally scored for mezzo-soprano, viola, and piano, my 2012 original song “Butterfly Lullaby” now includes an alternate part for cello (instead of viola), as well as a version of the score available for baritone voice (instead of mezzo-soprano).

With these additions, I hope more musicians will enjoy exploring this sweet little song!

Sneak Peek: “Wabi-Sabi” Live Electric Quartet

The full recording of my “live electric” rendition of Wabi-Sabi is finished!

As you can see from the video of the first movement, “Emergence”, I was able to record all four string parts with my 6-string electric violin. This is definitely a fun piece to play–challenging, emotional, harmonious… 😀

Look for it to be included on an upcoming album release, but for now, enjoy this early sneak peek of the full recording below!

Need help deciding…

I need your help deciding on which piece of mine to submit for a competition! The requirements are any Classical-style piece, any ensemble, any year of creation… so I’m having a hard time deciding which would be the best one to submit. 🤔

I’ve narrowed it down to my top ten and set up a little opinion poll (see below). I’d greatly appreciate your input on which piece you think would be the best one to submit!
