Program Notes

sometimes you ride high
sometimes I ride low
but the tide always returns

This piece was written for the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music’s #GLFCAMGigThruCOVID emergency relief project in which 65+ performers were funded to premiere new works as compensation for lost employment due to the COVID-19 crisis. I am honored to sponsor my friend Emma McCartney through this project. Many thanks to Gabriela Lena Frank for creating this relief program.
