This year’s Avant Garden Party is titled Thai Getaway. New Music Works hosts an all-too-rare visit of classical Thai music and dance performed by the Piphat Ensemble of Wat Buddhanusorn (from Fremont and Bangkok). The lovely venue is an island oasis pocketed discreetly along the Live Oak-Capitola border. Experience blends of vibrant Thai music and dance, music for flute & harp and a host of guest artists, along with S.E. Asian cuisine, created by Chefs Jozseph Shultz, David Jackman, and area Thai chefs.

Simon Hutchinson will perform pieces by Wolff, Frith and Ford, as well as his own “Tr!o” with the Contemporary Music Collective.

Dear All,

I’m sure you’ve noticed the new page. Over the last two years my musical interests have been slowly changing so I felt it was necessary to revise the page to better reflect the current directions of my music.

For those of you used to the old page, I’d like to direct your attention to a few things:
*the upcoming events calendar to the right
*new online music (often with scores) on the music page
*old posts are all still online, however many contain references to music or images that no longer exist due to server space constraints

Please click around and let me know what you think.
