Playbook Release Party
Sunday June 17, early evening
Lexington, MA Playbook is a set of piano pieces that I created with the students of the Pacem Music Studio of Carroll Ann Bottino. I wrote a piece for each student, from beginner to advanced, and the students wrote several too. I've published them with a CD of me playing all the pieces. They are a good introduction to contemporary techniques and harmonies, and the students found them fun to play.  On June 17, we'll be celebrating the release, after the students finish playing their end-of-year concert at Pacem and online too. We'll tweet and post on Facebook and in my Elusive Music blog. For anyone who's not local, plan to join in with your comments or post a recording of yourself performing these pieces. More details coming soon. |

Crowdfunding Update & Local Concerts
I asked for your support for my Spindrift Commissioning Guild project in January. Now I'd like to share a couple of projects I've supported.
Sounds of Stow is raising money at Kickstarter to commission Keane Southard, a fellow Northboro MA native, for a piano concerto. I've played in the orchestra for many years. Check it out!
Sybarite 5, the fabulous string quintet that plays Mozart and Radiohead and everything in between, are recent winners of the Concert Artist Guild competition. I supported their fundraiser last year.
