I've finished the Disklavier piece I was writing for the ARTSaha! Festival. It'll be 'premiered' sometime during the festival. September 4 - 10 in Omaha, Nebraska.
It's my densest piece yet and is in truth a virtuoso 6 piano composition of around 7 minutes long. The piece was inspired not only by obvious recent historical events but by the fact that the piece constantly surges though huge densities forcing gospel-inspired riffing to be overwhelmed by massive Arabic-influenced chords.
Puce will receive it's premiere May 7, 2007 7:30 p.m., Phillips Recital Hall Haas Fine Arts Center UW-Eau Claire by Piotr Szewczyk. He'll be lecturing on all of the pieces of the Violin Futura concert at the following Master Class. More info at Violin Futura.
And Cassotis for Mandolin and Guitar will receive its Munich premiere sometimes this month (more info later). BlueStrider for Piano's New York premiere is the coming Friday, May 18, 2007, 8PM Renee Weiler Concert Hall, Greenwich House Music School 46 Barrow Street performed by Paul Hoffmann at Joe Pehrson's and Patrick Hardish's series, Composer's Concordance.
