NewsI've joined the faculty at UpBeat, an after school El Sistema music program in the Bronx, teaching flute and conducting the new wind ensemble.
The third season of Parlour Room Sessions at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music is going to be fantastic -- I'm thrilled to present performers Alexander Davis, Roberta Michel, Izzy O'Connell, Derin Öge, Anneke Schaul-Yoder, and Rhymes with Opera in these intimate events, with chamber performances, audience Q&A, and reception. Ensemble 365's album Eastern Currents has been named a National Honorable Mention Finalist for The American Prize for Chamber Music Performance in 2018-19.
Praise for Ensemble 365's CD Eastern Currents from Colin Clarke in Fanfare Magazine--
"The standard of performance throughout by all performers is pretty much faultless." "The performance here [of Frangiz Ali-Zadeh's Three Watercolors] is fabulous, the aching loneliness of “Narcissus” for soprano and flute (itself implying a shakuhachi) balanced by the angular play of “The Boatman.” "Mary Hubbell is a most expressive soprano, and Alice Jones the perfect partner (the two parts are very much equals). The deep flute resonance of the opening of the final movement, “Dream Song,” and the way Hubbell’s blanched tone morphs with the flute sound is a spectacular sonic feat that captures the fluidity of sound that lies at the heart of Lam’s music." "A phenomenally interesting release... required listening." The CD is available on Amazon and iTunes and Spotify. |
