]]> Under the auspices of the New York Composers Circle, a late draft of my new piece was given a reading last night. This art song is based on the Rilke poem, Ich bin, du Angstlicher. The superb performers were soprano Sofia Dimitrova and violinist Stanichka Dimitrova. (Yes, they are sisters.) In this pic, Victor Frost is obscured but is indeed playing the piano. (Click image for larger size.)

After this reading, I began a companion Rilke song, Klage. Look for a June 2007 premiere of the completed song cycle.
