Quartet Integra presented an exquisite performance of my “Epigram” on the opening concert of this year’s Nevada Chamber Music Festival on December 28, 2024,  in the Hall Recital Hall on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno.

In an email to the composer Artistic Director Clive Greensmith wrote: “the piece is so persuasive and imaginative!”

Also on the program was Beethoven’s last quartet, Opus 135, which served as the primary inspiration for “Epigram,” with Schubert’s transcendent String Quintet D.956 following after the intermission.

It was a truly unique and enjoyable evening altogether.

Mezzo-soprano Katherine Pracht Phares and pianist Kevin Bylsma delivered an impressive premiere performance of this cycle of seven songs on poems of Federico Garcia Lorca (in Spanish) on the evening of January 17,2024, in Bryan Recital Hall, at Bowling Green State University in Toledo, Ohio.
