I am thrilled to announce the release of my new album First Things First on New Amsterdam Records. The CD contains recordings of works for solo viola, viola and electronics, and viola-heavy chamber music that I have commissioned and performed over the past five years (with one exception, more on that in the news locale of this here website).

To celebrate the release, join me and many fun guests (Nico Muhly! Judd Greenstein! itsnotyouitsme! Clarice Jensen! Chiara Quartet!) at Galapagos (in their new DUMBO space) for a CD release show and generally lovely time.

For this one-night, site-specific performance, Meredith Monk will radically transform the spiraling galleries of the Guggenheim rotunda, adapting her most recent work, Songs of Ascension, to the museum’s unique geometry. Featuring Monk’s Vocal Ensemble, a string quartet, a chorus of over 80 singers, and dozens of dancers performing throughout the space, Ascension Variations comprises movement and sound that is constantly shifting and changing, evolving and expanding. Monk’s use of the museum’s architecture also recalls Juice, the history-making work that the composer, choreographer, and multi-disciplinary artist created for the Guggenheim in 1969. To celebrate her original work at the Guggenheim, Monk will incorporate elements of Juice into her Ascension Variations performance.
