I’m in Miami, Florida working with the abundantly talented musicians of the New World Symphony. I’ve been speaking at local schools, working with the wonderful conductor Alasdair Neale, and looking forward to the premiere of my latest orchestral work, Dancers, Dreamers, and Presidents.
Here are some pics from the last few days:
With the New World Symphony.
With the wonderfully musical, intelligent, and insightful conductor, Alasdair Neale. He led the world-premiere and brought some much attention and detail to the score. Working with my good friend, conductor, and music editor John Yaffe, we changed nearly every page of the score into something much more refined and rich. I really thank Alasdair, and all of the musicians of the New World Symphony, for their time and patience in the process of making changes to the score. It really was a group effort!
With students from Dillard High School and Miami Northwestern Senior High School.
The poster outside the historic Lincoln Theater in Miami Beach, Florida. It was a good, hot time back home! Next stop, Cincinnati, Ohio with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.
Saw your show tonight in Macau…been living here the better part of 7 years…great show. I definitely give you guys props for hanging in there and getting everyone on their feet. It’s a shy crowd. Come back!
