The Chicago Miniaturist Ensemble, a group dedicated to performing miniatures (defined as pieces of 100 notes or less), will premiere my work “Through Frozen Fields” for violin, viola, cello, double bass, and soprano on their “Chiaroscuro” Concert, Thursday December 4th.

Unfortunately, over the past couple of months I haven’t had any new recordings to post, but several of my recent projects will be realized at the beginning of December.

For those in Oregon, please check out the Oregon Composers’ Forum Concert on Thursday, December 4th, where I will conduct the premiere of “Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove” for pierrot ensemble.

And, for those in Florida, especially those who love Godzilla movies, there’s an exciting performance of new multimedia works about “Kaiju” (definition), the Kaiju Monster Invasion Concert including the premiere of my new piece “An Evening with Noriaki Yuasa” for Alto Sax and DVD.

My piece, The Great Peace of Gyeonggi, for solo violin, is one of the “required pieces” for this year’s Sejong Music Competition.

The competition is for pre-college students of the violin, cello, and piano. Students prepare one piece of their choosing to be played from memory, then one of the three Korean-themed, required pieces available for each instrument.

So, to be honest, The Great Peace of Gyeonggi may be performed several times, or not at all!
