Hi folks,

This has been an extremely busy month for me.  I know I’m due a cluster performance video, and actually I have done two this month, but it may have to wait.  Here’s what I’ve been up to…

I’m working with Liuh-Wen Ting. She’s a fantastic violist, and considering her background and skills I feel really honored to be working with her.  We’re collaborating on a cluster of The Turn, and, as I mentioned, I’ve done two relatively successful tests already.  But I don’t want to share until it’s perfect! 

The first time I met with her we talked a lot about music.  As some of you may know, I’m a fan of a whole bunch of different styles, classical and modern classical being two of my favorites.  So we spoke a lot about Stravinsky and Bach.  And then Liuh-Wen surprised me with an impromptu performance of Stravinsky’s Elegy.  I was really moved by her performance, and rather in awe of her ability to do this from memory! 

Anyway, sorry again for the delay.  Hopefully it will be done soon!
