What’s on the plate at New Year
I just thought I’d share some news since I’ve hit the ground running at the start of 2010.
Right before Christmas I finished composing a commissioned solo work for classical guitarist Timothy Kain and just after the festivities composed a short solo piano piece written - as required - in just a single day in response to a call for submissions by Sydney's 2010 Aurora Festival of new music.
The Resurgence Band swings into action next week with a recording of some brand new material for ABC Jazz, the new ABC jazz digital radio station and online platform (I'm also recording a series of solo piano improvisations in those sessions). Then in early February the band will be featured in Sydney's inaugural Walsh Bay Jazz Festival and later in the month in a season at Sydney's new 6-night-a-week jazz venue 505.
Also in February, I am doing the premiere recording of my flute Sonatine, plus the Dutilleux flute Sonatine and the Poulenc flute Sonata in company with flautist Melissa Doecke for ABC Classic FM.
March sees the premiere of my String Sextet (composed by the Albert H. Maggs Composition Award from the University of Melbourne) in the first subscription concert for the year by the Australia Ensemble. In April will be the long-awaited premiere of my guitar quartet Autumnal Dances by Guitar Trek (originally written for Saffire in 2003) in a live national broadcast from Canberra on Sunday Live, ABC Classic FM.
Also (with date TBA) Simon Tedeschi’s recording of a selection of my piano preludes is anticipated for release on ABC Classics.
I hope you all had a terrific Christmas and New Year.
~Sincerely
Mark Isaacs
