New York, NY—On June 7, the concept of a “classical concert” as we know it will be turned on its ear.  Performances by Attacca Quartet, Flutronix, and Cadillac Moon Ensemble will be influenced by input from the audience during the concert.   Armed with their own cell phones, the audience will shape and direct the compositions being performed.

This unique performance will happen on Thursday, June 7, 7:30 p.m., in the auditorium of the Good Shepherd School, 620 Isham Street, in Manhattan’s tree-lined Inwood neighborhood.  A suggested donation of $10 is requested.

The first half of the concert is traditional—with a twist.  After a conventional performance of ...

With Strings Attached features a multitude of collaborations with new music as well as a partnership with the San Francisco Choral Artists. The first work on this recording is not only inspired by the two San Francisco ensembles, and the city itself, it is also inspired by a San Francisco art installation of the same name — language of the birds.

The composers of the music for Armonia Celeste are not yet common names among concertgoers. This is unfortunate, as the quality of their music and contributions to the history of music is often enormous. It is especially true of Luigi Rossi, the prime composer for Armonia Celeste’s current concert and forthcoming recording.

Rossi was born in southern Italy in the town of Torremaggiore, and apparently received his early training in Naples under Giovanni de Macque.  However, where he really made his mark was in Rome, where he served several patrons, including Cardinal Antonio Barberini.

The Barberinis were great patrons of the arts, and Rossi’s first opera, Il Palazzo Incantato (The ...

It’s amazing how similar it is to start with an idea, germinate it, cultivate it and then voila! Give birth to it like a baby.  As I prepare to release my latest album, ‘Air-The Bach Album’ on Valentine’s Day, 2012, I started to think of the process it took to reach this place.

I listened to the Bach Concertos in A minor and E major, and the Double Concerto my entire life. My earliest memories of this music are when we were on a family vacation, driving in the beautiful woods of Canada.  We had to leave our beautiful new puppy named Melody, back home in California. My dad got off the pay phone (that’s how it was back then!) and had a very somber look on his face…we found out she picked up an ...

This is Lady Gaga’s newest music video for her song Marry the Night.  If you’re not a fan of Gaga or don’t know her that well, your reaction to this video may be WTF!!??  But part way through the video, part of Beethoven’s Pathetique Piano Sonata is played, which fits in well with the mood being portrayed throughout the video.  If you are a fan of Gaga then you know her story and how parts of it could fit into the wor: Pathetique.
