I recently applied for a collaborative grant to put on a performance art piece I am writing called The Cure at Troy. I am happy to announce that I have been awarded $2000 to rehearse, promote and perform my work: On behalf of the review panel of the Coordinating Council for Music at New York […] The Bach Partitas and Sonatas are must plays for every violinist, whether they are ancient, grumpy old soloists or young musicians who have achieved the technical proficiency to handle the works. These work’s musical depth is profound, and the famous Ciaccona might be the greatest work written for a solo violin. Fortunately since it is […] I’ve been switching back and forth on the precept that we (as a classical music establishment) should be more relaxed about our concert setting.

So don’t expect too much over the next few days as I OD myself […] I would like to take a little bit of time to express my opinion on how rehearsals and programming should be done. A key to good rehearsing starts with good organization. This primarily includes: Having all of the musicians needed at the rehearsal when they are supposed to be.
