wow, charles, when do you sleeeeeeeeeep?
i’m quite excited about your upcoming 2014 playlist additions of Britten’s 1st & 2nd quartets on your Arnica concert in March during MMM!
lots of shred ahead . . .
And you’ll be happy to know that for our Astoria concert, we’re pairing the 2nd quartet with Britten’s arrangement of Purcell’s own Chacony.
I couldn’t help but notice that everything you played this year was written by a man. This doesn’t say anything about you in particular. It just proves that most attempts at giving women a slice of the compositional pie are meaningless and bear little fruit in the long run, and when people aren’t “looking.” My 2013 list includes music by women, but not the list of orchestral piece I played this year. And perhaps it only includes music by women because I play an annual concert of music only written by women, and I pick the music myself. I even write some of it.
Food for thought.
Nothing against your list, however. There’s a bunch of terrific music there.
“meaningless & bear little fruit in the long run . . . ”
are you serious?

many more . . .
i suggest you take another look @ the worldwide programing reality as it relates to women composers.
I meant Charles’s specific list.
fair enough.
however, your 3rd sentence seemed to reach a bit beyond just charles’ list.
anyway, here’re a few more women composers happily getting regularly aired these days:
+ jennifer higdon
+ zeena parkins
+ barbara kolb
+ chen yi
+ lera auerbach
+ caroline shaw (pulitzer prize)
+ gabriela lena frank
+ pauline oliveros
+ hildegard westerkamp
+ janice giteck
+ bonnie miksch
+ wendy carlos
+ shulamit ran
+ minako tokuyama
+ bryony marks
+ galina ustvolskaya (recently deceased)
+ elinor armer
+ missy mazzoli
My third sentence reflects on the programming in my area (I live in downstate Illinois).
ah, well, i’m glad you’re doing your share to correct your local imbalances.
brava!
ps
from the list above, i particularly recommend dobrinka tabakova’s “insight” for string trio. we will be offering its US premiere here in PDX during March Music Moderne on 16 march 2014 with the free marz string trio. if you are in the area, please drop in & say hi.
