New Sounds New Sounds New / A Concert Series

The idea for this concert series grew out of a project with Quartet121 which materialized during the COVID pandemic. The intent was to create an initiative to provide guidance, focus, and purpose despite general uncertainty in the performing arts. The overwhelming experience of this concert resulted in the idea to establish a concert series. Each concert consists of compositions by various former students of mine, mostly written specifically for the performer or the ensemble.
