Surrounded by my music.
The hand-written score for Woodscrossing surrounds me. This was my first composition to win an award. It won The Radius Ensemble’s Eighth Annual Pappalardo Composition Competition and premiered at Longy Conservatory’s Pickman Hall in March 2019. I was a graduate diploma student at the time, and this was a major encouragement for me to continue on the compositional journey. The Radius Ensemble is a wonderful professional new music ensemble based in Boston, MA. The concept and name for Woodscrossing came to me in a dream: the idea of making it through expansive, unending, unknown darkness, somehow through a link in the psyche between creation and that darkness. Woodscrossing is scored for oboe, piano, and cello.
Why from my dreams, why wake me?
