These two. Oh the tragic seriousness of Art Song -- who knew BC composers would dare to add flair and frivolity to their craft & inventiveness? Well, we did. 10 new songs for the novel pairing of voice and bass, with two performers clearly loving playing together, yes, in an array of mood and colour. There could not be a program like it elsewhere. Next Monday at the fab Notional Space, tix in comments.
On March 12, SMO returns to @cornishcollege_music Raisbeck Auditorium for an immersive evening exploring time, spatialized sound, and performer/composer agency. The program includes the world premiere of founding director Jérémy Jolley’s (contro-)clessidra I-VI; a series of bespoke duos crafted over more than a decade for SMO’s musicians. @ana.hita_abbasi’s Situation VI showcases the ensemble’s hallmark improvisational skills. Arun Chandra presents Ways of Resisting, challenging the sociopolitical context of music creation and performance. #seattlemodernorchestra

Sean returned to rehearsal with Beo today after a lengthy and intense hospital stay in January.
It was a great reminder of where music actually lives.

Last summer, In Triplicate, Jasmine Lin, Clancy Newman, and Nathan Farrington, brought a vivid, genre-bending program to the Jamestown Arts Center as part of our 37th Season. Their newly released video captures the same close-up artistry that made the evening unforgettable.
You can find even more from this performance on their YouTube channel, where additional selections from the concert are now available.

St Luke's 478 Hudson Street NYC on Feb 23 7pm! New work for Soprano, Bass, and electronics!
First day of the new year I finished a long collaborative project for @confluss @she_squawks @sam.zagnit.bass . as you can see from the many draft papers this took a while. Working with Sam and Amber has been an amazing process and I'm excited to share my new piece: Swallowed By Shadow Engulfed In Light!

The Midwest welcomed us with a balmy pre-spring weather in the high 60s. Our first stop – @augustana_illinois where we had a wonderful time working with student composers and string players leading a string class, workshopping and recording composers works.
A big thank you to the director of chamber music at @uiowamusic @elizabeth.oakes4 who had the incredible idea of collaborating with the Asian and Pacific Studies Center at the university to bring us out to do a joint residency at the School of Music AND the AP Studies Center. We coached chamber music, played and shared about our Angel Island work with History, Anthropology, Chinese Language classes, and performed our Facing the Moon program with original poetry by @gennyeshe , music by @waigwun @meilinatsui_composer @tree_wong and visuals by @oting1 and @mhellar
After Ben’s initiation to all things H-Mart right outside Chicago in Naperville, we brought @netzerosnat Galim Levanim to life with the help of 12 pedals total (page, looper, volume) at @constellationchicago .
Sending deep gratitude to all who made these connections possible!

Early glimpses of tomorrow night’s music!
microplastique (Adam Shead, Josh Harlow, Molly Jones, Ben Zucker) brings everything and the kitchen sink when it comes to instruments and styles, featured on its new album “Many Roads” and in this clip from last summer at HACKS in West Virginia.
Gabrielle Lochard and Julia Otis start off the evening with a new project where opera, children’s music, spirituals, and vocal exploration run together in one creative vessel.
See you tomorrow at 8:30 at @elasticarts !

I wrote a piece that @thebridgemusiccollective is performing on Sunday! It’s called Escapade, “a usually adventurous action that runs counter to approved or conventional conduct” - Merriam Webster dictionary. I’m very thankful to the musicians who have learned this risky piece with a lot of notes and tricky rhythms.
Sunday March 8th 4pm at @saintpauloakland @glenviewclassicalseries presents The Bridge Music Collective, performing a program of all works premieres from our local composer community!

It’s been a second and half since I’ve written an ensemble piece, but what made this recent premiere at Michigan State something extra special was that the person who made it all happen is my oldest friend. I can’t believe that I’ve met this guy in 7th grade, with English still very iffy. We lived down the street from one another and now we get to do something like this together some 23 years later or so. @yujijones you’re the absolute best and thank you for your soul, heart, and artistry. The student performers of Musique 21 really put their hearts into that performance and the whole show was just beautiful. Check out the recording link to Aureole in my bio and let me know what you think! #newmusic #contemporarymusic #detroitmusic #drone #microtones
