Premiere of Julia Adolph’s viola concerto written for violist Cynthia Phelps at the Eastern Music Festival is a a substantial contribution to the repertoire…I hope it gets recorded by Phelps as soloist.

NEW RELEASE Secret Alchemy: Chamber Works by Pierre Jalbert, Music from Copland House
Four stunning works by Pierre Jalbert, three in their World Premiere recordings, including a Copland House commission – in performances by the internationally-acclaimed Music from Copland House ensemble. “…breathtaking beauty, lyricism and intricacy of the chamber works on this new disc …every work gets a robust and ingratiating performance from Music from Copland House.” San Francisco Chronicle
“Pierre Jalbert writes music that is direct, speaks to the mind, heart, and soul, traverses a musical landscape, and expresses a wide range of emotion,” the Huffington Post said. On Secret Alchemy [with] Music from Copland House… the four works are played expertly and the sound is to perfection. Standouts are violinist Curtis Macomber and pianist Michael Boriskin who appear on most of the pieces.
Legendary DuranDuran drummer Roger Taylor is well aware of the power of music. So when the band’s manager asked if he wanted to use a short break during their tour to work in-studio with at-risk youth in the non-profit program Road Recovery, Taylor didn’t hesitate. Influencers like the Duran Duran power team, help bring visibility to the non-profit while giving students the opportunity to collaborate with some of the best in the business
“The concerto’s most arresting music came in the outer sections of the opening movement, where slithering piano glissandos and twinkling percussion meshed with wispy violins to conjure a magically airborne texture.”
SPCO concertmaster Steven Copes took the stage as soloist for Jalbert’s Violin Concerto. By turns haunting and menacing in the early going, the two-movement concerto became an absorbing meditation.
