White Album May 10th & 11th

To follow-up last year's Sgt. Pepper concert, the Brookline Music School will be performing the Beatles' White Album this coming Mother's Day weekend.

Close to 100 students will be recreating this legendary album with a string orchestra, horns, vocals and rhythm section. I have contributed an arrangement of Blackbird for guitar ensemble & voice, plus I'll be rocking out on guitar for "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."

I've been rehearsing with the Blackbird ensemble on Sundays the past couple of weeks and the whole school is brimming with Beatles music. I can't wait for this. Check it out: White Album

What's Good For The Goose

It's that time of year again. Time for recitals! Excitement and nerves meet, and then we play. To honor my students dedication and hard work I will be having a recital of my own.

Last year I showcased music for the WAlbum, this year I will be featuring music that I've been studying, writing and transcribing. It will be made up of the most significant work that has come across my practice stand in the past 18 months. Selections include pieces by Pat Metheny, Ralph Towner, Sylvain Luc, Tim Miller, Wolfgang Muthspiel and an original composition. I'm very excited to share this music that is very important to me, and I'm thrilled to have a great list of guest musicians.

Valerie Thompson will be joining me on Cello, Vessela Stoyanva will be playing vibes and the chair of the guitar department at Brookline Music School (Will Dick) will be assisting on guitar.

If you want to see what I've been up to, stop on by: Brookline Music School (Bakalar Hall) 25 Kennard Road Brookline MA Wednesday, January 23rd 7pm
