We didn’t take home any hardware but getting to hang with dear friends and catching up with colleagues is the grand prize. So lucky to be with producing partner, David Caddick, biz partner @rossmike where we get to manage uber talented @alissia at @parkavenueartists, life partner, Le Kim, and JP, Andy, Joel, Duyen, Anna and Lizzie. Thank you Grammys 2025!!!

We dubbed this electronic contraption “The Joshua Tree” after recording this week with @joshuabellmusic and the wonderful @housymphony with their music director, Maestro Juraj Valchua. The work we recorded was the Elements, a work we conceived in 2020 featuring five of America’s most preeminent composers, @composerkevinputs, @edgarmeyerbass , @jenniferhigdon1, @jakeheggiemusic and @jessiemontgomerymusic. Thrilling to listen to this come to life. (And then flight delayed five hours, landed at Reagan at 2:30am and missed connecting and slept on a table until a 6am flight…but it was worth it).

A major congratulations to the Jellicle Ball family. Not sure how I got so lucky to work with this group of truly exceptional people. Thanks to @wdwaldrop and @bill.rauch.pac for including me on this journey. And Kudos to our Tony nominated orchestration team, @davidandrewwilson, @dougschadt , @treviyd and of course @andrewlloydwebber for whom I’ve worked on 11 shows including 9 on Broadway. And my first time co-producing a show with my new friend and colleague, @toddrubin, for Lucky Tea Productions! I’m now a @republicoftea drinker!

March means @ypcofnyc (Young People’s Chorus of New York City) gala time. This year was particularly special as we were joined by the unparalleled @joycedidonato who not only knocked us out with a gorgeous performance from “Eden” which these brilliant young singers performed, but cheered them on from the audience throughout the concert. If you don’t know about YPC, this is a professional level chorus that just happens to be populated by the most inspiring children ever. I wish I could work with them forever! Congratulations Francisco, Elizabeth and the wonderful YPC family. (And honored to be with Grammy winners @chandrikatandon and Joyce)

3 concerts in 3 weeks at Carnegie Hall. And I certainly didnt practice enough to deserve to be there. @itzhakperlmanofficial completes the Carnegie trifecta these last three weeks after @timeforthree and @joshuabellmusic. To hear Downeaster Alexa performed by the original incognito violinist (as it says in the liner notes) with the incredible @marcroberge made me re-live my favorite high school moments listening to 52nd Street, the Stranger, Storm Front, the best!

Almost exactly a year ago, we spent two weeks at the new studio of our beloved @adamabeshouse to record a new project called No Prisoner Be. @composerkevinputs wrote this work using Emily Dickinson’s poetry specifically for @timeforthree and @joycedidonato. Thanks to @wqxr_classical , @allofitwnyc and Carnegie Hall for helping get this work find a place. Thanks to @franciscojnunez and @ypcofnyc for being a part of this. And thank you @sorchacoller, @flo_rivington and @daveross81…you are truly amazing having made this tour happen. Adam Abeshouse, this is for you.

4 days in Miami has allowed me to thaw. Fun to work on @gloriaestefan and @emily_estefan ‘s truly magical basura. Can’t wait for the debut at the Alliance Theater in May. Thanks to @crodees1, @lodrums, @mikeramosbass and @arami.malaise for making these perfect orchestrations by @alacamoire musically happen with our truly extraordinarily special cast. @basura is coming!A little side note and #geekalert. A little over 30 years ago was my first time at the Fontainebleau for a Sony music conference. A new signing was going to perform….his new release, “Livin’ la Vida Loca”! History being made (and purportedly the first # 1 song ever done completely within the Protools box ).
