It’s happening!! Mark June 3rd to log on and experience an exciting solo piano concert of original music by women composers (including Yours Truly)!! All info is on this webpage…

More Info

FYI, my featured composition—the debut performance of “Crystallization”—is first on the program; don’t miss it! 😜

This unique program curated by pianist Marta Brankovich features women composers from different parts of the world, all with works released on Navona Records and produced by PARMA Recordings. Brankovich, whose works War and Victory are also included in the program, says, “I have never experienced more diverse, eclectic, sensible, and New Age music in the same repertoire. Composers I have chosen have left a very personal mark on me as a classical pianist and composer. Each of these artists have incredible stories, fantastic musical journeys, and have made a huge impact on the 21st century composing process that I am happy to share.”

New Music Video: “Wabi-Sabi (I. Emergence)”

Presenting a fun video of the debut performance of movement 1 from “Wabi-Sabi (for string quartet)”!

As we’ve still been in quarantine mode at the start of spring, I thought I’d overlay myself playing all the quartet parts using my 6-string electric violin. And, of course, I wanted to show off my fiddle’s colorful lights at the start of the video. 😉

Enjoy!

“Wabi-sabi acknowledges that just as it is important to know when to make choices, it is also important to know when not to make choices: to let things be.” (Leonard Koren in “Wabi- Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers”.)

The aesthetic and metaphysical ideals that Japanese wabi-sabi encapsulates include simplicity, naturalness, and an acceptance of reality. This musical work seeks to illustrate the overall nature of wabi-sabi. At both the beginning of movement 1 and the ending of movement 3, notes are thought of as specks of Potentiality that are randomly evolving from or devolving to Nothingness. Movement 2, at the center point of this universal journey, expresses a concerted effort of diverse elements to create structure and meaning.

New Wintery Single

I’m so excited to have finished my latest lovely, little “winter passacaglia” for piano solo: “Crystallization”!

Dedicated to my dear friend, Michael Jung, who’s always willing to try anything I throw at him.

The recorded single is currently available to Bandcamp Backstage Members; I hope you’ll consider joining your support, if you haven’t already. In the meantime, you can listen to a minute-long segment of this new work here.

I do have plans, in fact, to orchestrate a full symphonic background to this work within the next months, turning it into a grand cinematic score… 🙂 I’ll let you know how that goes!
