On Being an Orchestral Composer....



One could get used to this.

It was an absolute joy to hear my piece In Winter and to interact with the incredible musicians in the San Diego Symphony. It was a remarkable experience to see what they were capable of accomplishing with this music in such a short period of time. It was such an honor to be a part of the EarShot program and to work with the distinguished members of the Symphony, maestro James Feddeck, and mentor composers John Corigliano, Robert Beaser, and Rand Steiger. Congratulations to my fellow participant composers in the program: Chen-Hui Jen, David Kirkland Garner, and Paul Frucht. It was a pleasure to meet all of you, and to hear your music come to life.

Prior to the readings, I shared a few thoughts about the occasion in this interview with Dirk Sutro at UCSD's department of music.
