HP3 with GSO
Always fun to add a new HP film to my repertoire, and my first trip through HP3 was a treat, indeed. Several people said that this was their favorite film and score, and the hardest score too. I’d agree with all of that, for sure. Once again, I have to admire the author’s storytelling…
“Rite” with the ASO and Dominic
The Adrian Symphony wrapped up our Stravinsky Festival with a great performance of “The Rite of Spring.” And Dominic Cheli returned and blew the audience away with Rach/Pag. Bravi tutti on this great season of amazing performances of all of Stravinsky’s major ballet suites. What a thrill!
HP#1 with the Huntsville Symphony
HP #1 holds a special place in my heart- where the adventure all began and where the musical identity of all 8 films was born. I’m in awe of John Williams gifts as a storyteller and how the music sets the vibe of the entire series. And that Quidditch music….wow! A thrill to conduct,…
Sequoians’ season wraps with Time for Three and Tchaik
Always a pleasure to collaborate with these three wonderful musicians and wonderful people. Kevin Puts’ new concerto definitely deserved that Grammy – as did Tf3. And then the sensational Sequoians played the hearts out with an exciting and moving performance of Tchaikovsky 4th. What a finale!
HP #6 with the Florida Orchestra
Such a delight to work with the amazing musicians of the @thefloridaorchestra in Tampa for a couple of performances of Harry Potter 6. Great playing for a great movie and a wonderful packed hall. What a pleasure it was to work with this great orchestra!
ASO’s Stravinsky Festival Continues
“Pulcinella” was paired with Mozart’s Jupiter symphony as we hit concert #3 in our Stravinsky festival. Amazing winds and string solo quintet! Bravi tutti!
Sequoian’s masterful “Banned and Boycotted”
Sibelius, Shostakovich, and Bartok made for a great night of controversial (in their time) music. The Sequoia Symphony brought their A-game with the challenging but rewarding repertoire. Facts.
Lots of “Elf”
What a pleasure to conduct “Elf” in concert in California, Boston, and North Carolina this holiday season. Wonderful orchestras in each place and a wonderful way to get ready for the holiday season!
