News on the March: 5/23/08

- 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
