Hole in the Wall (Purcell) on viola

https://rankett.net/w/sm9PHuUBJxHnrNviJx8BzK

I love the shape and detail, especially the sculpted hand, on this memorial to William Primrose on a tenement on Wilton Drive in the northwest of Glasgow. Born in the city in 1904, Primrose started playing the violin aged just 4 years old, and at the age of 12 he had gave his first public performance.

The remarkable Rebecca Clarke viola sonata (1919), here played by violist Hanna Jang and a woman whose name is only given in Korean script:

(Nicht von mir. Nur gefunden.)

Unlike the performance marathon that was June, July is more about composing projects -- I have just one show to play and it should be special!

Join us July 20 at 8pm at Barbès with the wonderful accordionist/pianist/composer Simone Baron.

Announcing “Flight of Ecstasy”!

Over the course of two weekends in June 2025, I had the immense privilege of participating in a three-concert series around Los Angeles County featuring SOCAL-CELLO-CENTRIC: a group of local composers and musicians. Twelve of us were invited to compose brand new original works featuring the cello in various ways, and we all pitched in together to perform each others’ works for local audiences.

For my part of this project, I embraced my long-time love of Nordic symphonic-metal — think bands like Within Temptation and Nightwish — to create a driving and fierce string trio called “Flight of Ecstasy”! Here, this video below takes the best moments from all three concerts during its premiere run to create a taste of what a joy it was to perform this work, joined with Julissa Bozman on viola and Kathryn Carson on cello.
