Things a happenin’…..

Tristan, et cetera

I finished editing five operas including Tristan and Isolde, Xerxes and Don Giovanni from Houston Grand Opera’s 2012-2103 season. They’ll air on WFMT in Chicago beginning in the November. Check my Facebook page in the Fall for an update on streaming information so you can listen in.

Nights at the Museum

Over the next year I’ll continue working with the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Rose Augustine Foundation to record a lot of the guitars from the Met’s rare instruments collection for an HD video series to promote the collection. Not only did I get to record the amazing Jorge Caballero and Vladimir Gorbach, I get to hang out in the Met late at night! I’ll continue recording the series this month recording guitarists Mattias Jacobsson, David Starobin and Ernie Jackson. Check out the first videos here.

Gods of Winter 

In mid September I'll be on location at the recital hall of SUNY Purchase to record an original score by composer Louis Karchin and The Washington Square Contemporary Music Ensemble with baritone Thomas Meglioranza and violinists Miranda Cuckson and Curtis Macomber.
