So, apparently Nico Muhly knew world-famous percussionist Samuel Solomon back in the day. Blows my mind. Here they are eating pizza, haha.

Here’s Solomon playing Ryan Streber’s Compassinges, of which I’m quite fond.

Anyway. Just felt like sharing.

Out of the Loop, Orchestra 15′

A Good Understanding, SATB, trebles, percussion organ

Time After Time, Soprano saxophone, marimba, percussion, 10′

Seeing is Believing, solo electric six-string violin and chamber orchestra

Full program info for each piece can be found at www.nicomuhly.com (look under Projects).

Carnegie Hall is premiering a new vocal work by Nico Muhly, called The Adulteress, on the Friday before spring break. This means I could skip two classes on that Friday, take a morning flight to NY and get there in time to eat and settle down before the concert.

Also, it would be spring break, of course. Meaning I could spend time being a tourist while I was there.

It would be expensive, yes. But, otherwise, I’m just going to be bored here… playing Guild Wars or something. Would anyone care to join me? Maybe I should ask my parents if they want to meet me there… hrm…

Also. Here’s a link for you.

Don’t you hate the fact that every “gay website” (or even Facebook since they found out I’m gay) finds it necessary to barrage me with photos of half-naked men? Not that I necessarily mind, but it’s really kind of distracting and not very professional.

Get with it, gentlemen.
