Getting to perform a George Crumb piece in college (Night of the Four Moons) was an unforgettable experience. His music is like no other. What he created sonically was immediately captivating and haunting. His scores themselves were works of art. nytimes.com/2024/06/22/art…

I am honored to be a part of the Kelly Joe Phelps documentary being filmed by Anthony Saint James. Follow @kjp_film over on Instagram to stay up to date on the film’s progress. Click to watch a small snippet… instagram.com/reel/C87QyeeRQ…

I spent three extremely productive days with Tom Eaton at his Sounds & Substance Studio in New Hampshire this past week recording 16 pieces for a new solo album. I can’t imagine creating music with anyone else.

My July newsletter is out now and includes info about new music on the horizon. Newsletter link: vindownes.com/campaigns/9560…

Thanks John!

We’d like to wish a Happy 26th BDay to our son Kian. He’s intelligent, kind, empathetic, thoughtful, witty, sarcastic, & funny. He’s a dedicated & compassionate social worker & an unfortunate die hard Pirates fan. We couldn’t be more proud of the adult human being he’s become.

So incredibly sad to hear about the passing of Steve Silberman. He was a beaming light of intelligence and compassion. I'd like to believe Croz was there to greet him with a big hug. Safe travels Steve...
