chamber music

I just played the Brahms Piano Quintet today at noon with fellow Arnicans and pianist Cary Lewis. It was fun, but a bit nerve-wracking since it had been since September or so that I’d played outside the orchestra. Much too long - I have to make more of a habit of it, it makes performing so much more enjoyable if I have my “sea legs”.

What’s next? I’m working on Daniel Ott’s Parting for solo viola, as well as Dorothy Chang’s Streams, and will finally premiere Sara Carina Graef’s viola/piano piece this spring as well (I promise!). Also, Joan Tower’s Wild Purple and the Shostakovich Sonata for the Max Aronoff Viola Institute concert series this June.
