- I'm gearing up for my summer employment, beginning in just about a week. I'll be working as the Schedule Coordinator for the renowned Aspen Music Festival, which I couldn't be more excited about. More details as they present themselves.
- Three Portraits for Pierrot Ensemble won the Edward Levy Prize! The prize comes with a $1000 commission for a piece to be performed on the Pendulum New Music Series next year, and a carte blanche to put together my own ensemble to perform it. My dream work is for the Tasman String Quartet (our wonderful resident quartet, imported from New Zealand), piano and jazz soloists. Will it happen that way? Fingers crossed.
- There's been some buzz of a composer-in-residence position, but no further information on that right now. Stay tuned...
Projects
- Prometheus in the Dead Zone for percussion sextet
- Self-Portrait in a Broken Mirror for orchestra
- Revision of Three Portraits and Concert in the Garden

Welcome!
Welcome, one and all, to gregsimonmusic.com!
This is the first edition of my web presence, and I'm very excited to bring it to everyone. The role of GSM.com might evolve and develop over time, but at present it serves the most basic purpose of being a source for information about me, my music, and my professional activities.
The blog you're reading right now, Notes and Words, will be a news feed, keeping those interested up to date on what I'm writing, where I'm playing, etc. In addition, like my web heroes Matt Guerreri and Darcy James Argue, I'll use this space to share with you my thoughts on music, the arts and related issues. Some of my writings might be cross-posted over at the CU Pendulum blogspace (cu-pendulum.blogspot.com), others will make this their one and only home. As soon as I can get comments working, please make your voice heard! What good is writing if I don't know that someone's reading?
With that, another big welcome to GSM.com! Let me know if the thermostat's too low.
