I’ve just been sent the mp3s from last week’s Oregon Composers’ Forum Concert. Thank you again to everyone who came, and thanks especially to my performers:

Heidi Wait, Flute
Jennifer Love, Clarinet
Ben Krause, Piano
Sidran Olson, Violin
Gracin Dorsey, Cello

The piece is in seven very short movements:

Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove

Thank you to all who attended the Oregon Composers’ Forum concert on December 4th. My piece, Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, along with the whole concert was a great success thanks to the unprecedented number of people who came out to see the concert.

Check back here in the coming weeks for an mp3 of the performance.

I haven’t had any reports about the Chicago Miniaturist Ensemble concert yet, but I’m sure that went wonderfully too. Anyone who was there? Please leave a comment!

Also just a note that I’ve been updating and upgrading some of these pages in the hopes that I’ll have a whole lot of new mp3s coming soon.
