NEW MUSIC

To partner with composers in presenting new works to the public is one of my primary goals as a performer. Working with music’s creators sheds new light on interpreting the music of the past, just as an immersion in artistic traditions illuminates the evolution of today’s music. Below is a list of living or recently deceased composers whose music I have performed and/or with whom I have worked. Special mention is made of U.S. and world premieres, and links to pertinent websites are included.
