I’m very excited that the Albany Symphony is going to read my new orchestra piece, 200 OK. The reading is part of their Composer to Center Stage Program and will take place at 2:00PM on May, 22 at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC). I’m not sure exactly what the program entails, but I gather there will be some workshop sessions with orchestra musicians, conductors, administrators, and their resident composer, John Harbison. Also, and I’m very excited for this, we’ll get tickets to concerts in their American Music Festival, which (and this is what I’m really excited about) include new works by my friends Ted Hearne and Timo Andres.
