Live Program Notes

During concerts I choose at least one piece as the subject of aural/oral program notes (known as ‘demo excerpts’ to my ensembles). We present excerpts, many modified or ‘re-composed’ from their original version, so audiences experience an abridged version of what we work through in rehearsal. Audience members regularly report this vastly improves their appreciation of the music. 

In 2024 I presented on this at the WASBE Conference in Gwangju City, Korea.
