I’m excited to share that my composition Out of the Shadows (orig. titled Splash (2012)) this Monday, May 4th, 2015 in Doc Rando Recital Hall at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas as part of the final NEXTET concert of the season! Also on the program is a piece for violin and viola by my colleague, composer Joshua Fishbein, a piece by student composer G Liu, and two pieces by composer-in-residence Michael Hersch.
Out of the Shadows was written for jazz trumpet, string quartet, vibraphone, piano, bass, and drums. Here is a list of the performers:
Jorge Machain, trumpet
Sammi Ciarlo, violin I
Tammy Hung, violin II
David Chavez, viola
Lindsay Johnson, cello
Caleb Pickering, vibraphone
Otto Ehling, piano
Summer Kodama, bass
Colin Woodford, drums
I feel so fortunate to have such talented musicians playing my piece!
