NYCEMF

I’m honored to be presenting two movements from Act 3 of My Heart is a River at the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival this year. These will be presented as pieces for cello and tape and will include no video.


My Heart is a River [Act 2 and 3]

My Heart is a River has now been expanded by two acts to 44 minutes. It premiered February 24th 2023 in Octave 9 at Benroya Hall. Scores for the individual movements are available by request for performance.


Re-scheduled Performance

The piece My Heart is a River, developed for, and in collaboration with, the international cellist Seth Parker Woods, was scheduled to be performed at EMPAC last April. The concert was cancelled due to global pandemic. It’s always been a dream of mine to have a show at this amazing venue and so I am very happy to report that the show has been re-scheduled for November 5th, 2020.
