The Six.

This summer So Percussion opened their Summer Institute up to composers and brought me on as faculty. I worked intensively with six  young composers over the course of two weeks, on creating new music for percussion quartet. At the end of our time together, So gave an informal public reading of the new pieces.
The students were exceptional: thoughtful, clever, rigorous, disciplined. It was my distinct pleasure working with them, and experiencing as an insider the deep community that So builds each summer around its ideals.
