in the thick

It's been a crazy but incredibly stimulating few weeks. ICE's stint in Helsinki was great for everyone--beautiful city, great halls and audiences, and we were treated like kings. I just got back from some recording work in Buffalo, and now I'm on to the Twin Cities...as always, trying to fit in some teaching in between. Thanks to all who help me to keep my strength up.

After this, I've got a slight break for a bit: ICE does its Composer Portrait of Arlene Sierra in March at the Miller Theatre, and all the while, I'm brushing up on the Ives Concord Sonata. Good things ahead.
