I'll be playing a couple of solo performances in the upcoming months -- please stop by if you are in the neighborhood! On January 22nd, I'm playing for the Triangle Guitar Society in Raleigh/Durham N.C., and on February 26th, I'll be out in Cincinnati playing for the Xavier University guitar series. I'll also be playing a casual show of my own music on February 2 in Williamsburg at Pete's Candy Store as part of Julia Biber's Classical at Pete's series.
ICE rolls along in another great season with several cool concerts this winter, all part of the new collaborative program ICELab. Luckily, I'll be in all six of these pieces this year, which means six new prominent evening length chamber pieces involving guitar. Exciting stuff. In addition, we'll be performing a concert of new music influenced by avant garde jazz on February 5th at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, premiering a new ensemble work by the French composer George Aperghis, bringing some new repertoire to the Atlas Performance space in Washington D.C. and Reston, Virginia, and giving two concerts on a festival in Cologne, Germany.
Recordings and editing have begun on a double cd set of contemporary guitar music, by famous guys like Britten, Carter, and Henze, and close colleagues who I think should be famous like Reiko Fueting, Mikel Kuehn, Vineet Shende and Ryan Streber and Orianna Webb.

Meanwhile, several exciting releases are just out on the New Focus Recordings site now, including Marilyn Nonken playing the piano music of Drew Baker, and ICE playing the works of Nathan Davis. Time Out NYC listed Nathan's cd among their top ten for 2011, and Time Out Chicago said the same about Jacob Greenberg's beautiful Schumann and Busoni recording. Stay tuned for new releases from flutist Claire Chase, a Bach recording by the four hands piano duo, Duo Stephanie and Saar, violin and piano works by Duo Figer Khanina, and music by composers Suzanne Farrin and Richard Beaudoin. An all-Schubert recording with myself and soprano Tony Arnold is due out in the spring.
