Bahamas Tour, MU's New Music Festival & Ohio performance

Last week I was fortunate to spend 5 days in the Bahamas as part of Ensemble Du Monde & Quatuor Mahogany to perform for the Nassau Music Society 6 concerts in 5 days. What a trip!
Below is a picture with some of the lovely 400 kids that were an incredible audience for our educational program at the College of the Bahamas! We also had the distinct pleasure of performing for the Govenor of the Bahamas, Atlantis Resort and in Lyford Cay with great success. À bientôt & I hope to return soon!

The 4th Annual New Music Festival at Marshall University organized by Mark Zanter (composition faculty, Marshall University) was an incredible experience of community support and outreach with packed-to-the-brim concert halls, fantastic new works and a live film score performance. I had the pleasure of performing Marc Sattwhite's Trio "Spiky Epiphanies" for piano trio (faculty at UK) and Brazilian composer Gabriel Araujo's "Azathoth" for violin & electronics. Here's a news announcement:
