Last month this wonderful video was posted on YouTube, showing a discussion with Scott Yoo, on the process of composing one of his pieces.
He wanted to create a homage to Fauré whilst using Japanese scales.

One of the truest joys of my time here in Chicago has been getting the chance to spend a lot of time with the Grossman Ensemble.

Thrilled and completely in awe of this wonderful review, and for the achievement of everyone involved in creating this CD from performers to those involved in production.

Many thanks to BBC Music Magazine for taking the time to review Terpsichore's Box of Dreams!

Working over the past several decades with magnificent conductor, Dr. William Wiedrich, has been and remains deeply meaningful. I am forever in Bill’s debt.

Aura Tenebris is just one part of the Heavy Metal Suite that they performed, which is comprised of individual movements inspired by different critical metals (e.g. copper, gold, lithium, platinum).
