I had an incredible day visiting the concert ensembles at Grand Ledge HS under the baton of John Szczerowski. GLHS is one of several institutions this year who have invited me to participate in a mini-residency (programming several of my works with different ensembles), and their program is, in a word, exemplary. John is honoring the rich tradition at GLHS of producing high calibre ensembles and programming quality literature, and I was honored to hear three of my pieces among them today, GRADIENTS, CONSPIRACY THEORIES, and THE RAPTOR RIDES THE WHALE, of which they are members of the commissioning consortium. It was a blast to hear his groups perform my pieces and have a chance to take them through some interpretive turns. As I expected, these groups were well prepared (HUGE Kudos to Tavia Zerman!!!) and focused. They take music-making very, very seriously, but were not afraid to have fun with it either. John has also commissioned me to compose a fanfare for his top group, and CLUTCH will be in collaborative development over the next year. GLHS will perform my music on May 9th and 14th, 2018. Don't miss it!
