Noiseborder Ensemble at W.A.V.E.S. Festival

Here’s a great photo (by Michelle Tarailo) of Noiseborder Ensemble performing outdoors at the W.A.V.E.S. Festival on the Windsor waterfront.  We premiered Brent Lee’s Signs & Symptoms (video: Sigi Torinus).  We also performed the classic NBE pieces “Superstars of Wrestling” and “Lonesome.”  Martin Schiller’s Pitch-A-Sketch also made a strong showing!

Good News

I pleased to announce that as of July 1, 2014 I will receive tenure at the University of Windsor and will be promoted to the rank of Associate Professor in the School of Creative Arts – Music.

It’s been a long road with many successes and challenges along the way.  Thanks to all of you who have sent well wishes!

Odds and Ends

Lots activities in the last month.  I greatly enjoyed the two recent Windsor Symphony cycles: our concert performance of Bizet’s Carmen and the recent pops concert featuring our assistant concert master Tino Popovic.

Noiseborder Ensemble is gearing up for a residency with the Sandeep Bhagwati from Concordia University’s Matralab.  We’ll share a performance on April 1 at the University of Windsor.

I was pleased to have a masterclass and recital at the University with Philip O’Banion from Temple University on March 5.  His new program is really enjoyable with some innovative technological interactions.   I look forward to setting up my appearance at Temple in fall 2014.

More to come!
