some of “Roller Skates” from @composerjuri ’s “Toy Store” for violin and fixed-media electronics 🛼
enjoying the play of putting this piece together, along with some @andyakiho and Samuel Adams for this Sunday’s Ensemble X concert at @cornelluniversity ! There’s a specific kind of practicing joy that comes from being in musical conversation with recordings of @cinnamon_jinjoo playing over the speakers.
Sunday September 29 • 3pm • Barnes Hall

This concerto is so full of warmth and joy, all totally magnified by being able to perform it with this amazing conductor and our IC students!
AND! We get to reprise (re-Price?) it for Ithaca’s MLK Celebration concert on January 25! What an honor to be able to share this music again in this context.

Ballads and Bartok: a fun week of two very different but complimentary performances here in Ithaca!
The Ballad of Old Greeny with @breakfastcalculus opened at the @oldgreenyfringefest - (and we have one more show today!) - foiled with performances of Bartok’s two sonatas for violin and piano with the amazing Vadim Serebryany.
Here’s to more very serious silliness this Spring 🌸

Both a familiar face on the Cabrillo Festival stage, and a performing artist with Palaver Strings, violinist Teagan Faran shares a personal perspective on the special collaborative performance by CFCM and Palaver taking place on Friday, April 24th at Kuumbwa Jazz Center as part of the Ripple Effect Arts Festival.
“A Change is Gonna Come” is an intimate, powerful concert experience that blends iconic American protest songs with new works by today’s voices. Presented in partnership with the UCSC Music Department, the program includes two premieres commissioned exclusively for this event from UCSC composers, alongside works by some of the leading artistic voices of our time.
This partnership event shapes a shared space for artistry, political expression, and collective reflection through music. Tickets for this unique concert experience are sale now— visit kuumbwajazz.org!

Joyful times working with composer Andrew Norman here in Ithaca! A faculty/student octet played his epic work “Gran Turismo” and junior Andrew Neal shared “Sabina” for our Husa Composer-in-Residence. It’s always such a luxury to get to work with the creator on their music in person. Both pieces will be performed in concert later this semester, so stay tuned!
Looking forward to the rest of the @ithacomposers events with him this week!

A quick chamber music tip from LCMF faculty @teagbby and @leomur with a subtle, unintentional nod to Grant Wood. 🎻🧑🏼🌾
When you’re preparing for a first rehearsal, try playing through the other parts on your own instrument. It helps you understand how everything fits together, anticipate ensemble challenges, and build empathy for the tricky moments your collaborators are navigating.
Simple idea. Big payoff!
📅 Applications for the Lawrence Chamber Music Festival are open now.
🎶 Two weeks of deep rehearsal, coaching with world-class faculty, and music-making that moves tradition forward.

Ever wondered what metal guitar would sound like on violin? ACOUSTIC violin?? Look no further. Unlike your IG guitar boy faves, there are no audio tricks here - allllll live, baby.
Wanna hear the rest? Listen to @teagbby play Temptress in full on their album Middle Child, available on Spotify (and everywhere else.)
