I’m lucky I’ve been able to work so closely and play lots of music with such amazing colleagues! @selena.vega.95 @edgar7q @ethanb.viola and I will be giving our last recital as UKY’s graduate “Verdi” string quartet this spring, playing two bucket-list works. Join us May 2 at 7 in the Niles Gallery at UK for Shostakovich quartet 8 & Beethoven Op. 131 Free and open to the public 😇

Had a wonderful time recording UK’s Verdi Quartet today at WUKY (a.k.a. the studio formerly known as Saint Claire). They recorded movements from quartets by Brahms and Ginastera. Special shout out to @adkmicrophone , the Munich’s were awesome for string spots!

So… Big Ears was absolutely stellar, again. Saw some music I’d wanted to see for a while, some new folks I’m so grateful I did. Worth getting sick as a dog for.

So… this is happening !! Super fun program, come see me back in the classical cello saddle playing avant garde pacifist music, raucous theatrical French music, and maybe one of the best instrumental love songs of all time, with the talented @paigehcrain on the keys! 4pm on March 2, in the Niles Gallery (160 Patterson Dr.) at the University of Kentucky!
