I am very excited to announce that the violin soloist for Millikan Symphony will be Jennifer Curtis.  Jennifer is from Chapel Hill but has lived in NYC for many years. Don Oehler (Music Director, Chapel Hill Philharmonia) introduced us in March during my last trip to NC. Jennifer immediately connected with the concept and creative process of the piece. We will have two opportunities to work together in Saint Paul as I compose the 4th movement. Our first meeting was yesterday! Pictured is Jennifer playing through what I've written so far. 

It can be a bit unnerving, as well as exciting, to put your music in front of a musician when much is still unknown and embryonic. I began composing Millikan Symphony this month, starting with the 4th movement, and only have about 3 minutes written. Jennifer is deeply musical and present. I came away inspired, my ears filled with her rich bold sound and expressive playing. I look forward to continuing to work together!
