Greetings, all!
I’m very psyched to be bringing my “100 Years Of Spring” project to Alva’s Showroom in San Pedro CA on Sunday June 16th. I just finished a 3 hour practice session including the1st run thru of the piece since my last performance of it in March. I’m quite excited to be doing it again!
I have at least 1 more show (so far) on August 10th in Beacon NY. I was hoping for a LOT of shows duirng the May/June 2013 period (to coincide with the centennial of the piece’s premiere on May 29) but I will take what I can get. I’m planning to document the performances and record it as part of “Solo Piano Vol.2” due out later this year. (If you missed it, vol. 1 is here. I hope you can join me in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the piece that defined modern music, and the famous riot at it’s premiere!

This is an absolutely fascinating documentary about the reconstruction of Vaslav Nijinsky’s original 1913 choreography for the Rite, which was lost for 70 YEARS.
