Back to Boston, for the week...

This week is an arctic blast from the past, as I travel to Boston just after the giant snow storm to do some editing, lecturing, and coaching with Chinary Ung, whose new work for viola and orchestra will be premiered by Boston Modern Orchestra this Friday at Jordan Hall. Today at Boston Conservatory we will be giving a joint lecture, along with Chinary's wife, the violist Susan Ung. We will discuss Chinary's work featuring vocalization and how it has led to this new exploration of its potential in an orchestral context.
