Here’s some­thing hot off the press: a video of last week­end’s perfor­mance of The Great Span at Peoples’ Symphony. It’s always a pleasure to play with the Calder Quartet; I love their under­stated inten­sity, rhythmic integrity, and tech­ni­cal preci­sion, qual­i­ties which apply to this piece partic­u­larly well. The venue (new to me) of NYC’s WPA-era High School of Fashion Indus­tries, atmos­pheric in both spirit and decay, also seemed to suit music concerned primar­ily with pattern, craft, and links between seem­ingly distant histor­i­cal periods.

Many thanks to the Peoples’ Symphony for allowing the use of this record­ing, captured by Studio42.
