Pics from an Exhibition (Music too!)
This concert, put on by Composer’s Concordance, happened a while ago (in April), but I wanted to share it with you because now I have some videos! I’ve included pics of the art show as well, which was very well-recieved. I will add a few more videos of ensemble works I was involved in in the next days.
If you live on the Upper West Side, I encourage you to visit Goddard Riverside’s Bernie Wohl Center, Just visiting and interacting with them a a few times, I had a wonderful experience and got a strong impression of how great their community arts, music and theater classes and programs are!
Welcome!
Thanks to the people at the Bernie Wohl Center for inviting me to show here, and for setting up this table!

Elegy In the Old Style
By Igor Vorobyev
This is the US premiere of a beautiful and masterful work for the guitar by a Russian composer. to me it seems both romantic and impressionistic in style. I hope I have the opportunity to perform it again! It was a tricky piece to learn, and technically difficult to play in many places—basically much of it needed to be memorized, and it wasn’t quite there yet. Because of this I edited the video in a few places –most of my mistakes happened when I went to the wrong chord or note, and then corrected it, and thus it was easy to edit those out, and leave you with a more accurate idea of the piece.
