Musical Leadership: Community Artist Fellow, Curtis Institute of Music, Philadelphia, PA 2018 - present Curtis’ Community Artist Fellowships, offered to three Curtis alumni each year, allow musicians to bring their artistry to underserved communities across Philadelphia. Personal projects include: one, a research study and composition workshop in partnership with the Penn Memory Center on the impact of music compositional activity on anxiety, depression, and self-isolation in early-stage Alzheimer’s patients; and two, a children’s opera project, which takes inspiration for its libretto from the Akan character Anansi the Spider. The opera is being created in collaboration with K-12 students at Girard College and will premiere on Curtis’ Family Concert Series with tenor Aaron Crouch, soprano Lindsey Reynolds, and mezzo-soprano Amanda Bottoms at both Curtis and Girard College on 3/30 and 3/31/18. “Cityscaping” Director and Composer-in-Residence, The Brass Project, Philadelphia, PA. 2015 - present The Brass Project is a sextet of outstanding brass musicians from the Curtis Institute of Music united around a shared set of multifaceted goals: to expand the repertoire for chamber brass, to record and distribute new works, and to engage with a wide community through outreach and educational programs. The Brass Project has proudly presented over 100 pop-up concerts and educational programs in addition to their many traditional concert performances. For their inaugural season, The Brass Project commissioned 32 new works as part of their “Cityscaping” initiative; participating composers included Pulitzer Prize winner Aaron Jay Kernis, Rome Prize winner Sean Friar, and Princeton Professor Emeritus Paul Lansky. This endeavor, initially produced under the auspices of Curtis’ Community Artists Program, presented these new works in concert at the Philadelphia Art Alliance, in schools both in Philadelphia and New Mexico, and in Philadelphia’s Reading Terminal Market. The project received critical acclaim in the Philadelphia Inquirer and led to The Brass Project’s debut studio album. Co-Founder, President, and Conductor, Oxford Laptop Orchestra, University of Oxford 2012 - 2013 The Oxford Laptop Orchestra (OxLOrk), modeled after the Princeton Laptop Orchestra, is a performance ensemble that operates with six hemispherical speakers and an assortment of digital controllers. In its inaugural year, OxLOrk presented five concerts, including a feature at the Barbican Centre in London and a collaboration with the Ashmolean Art Museum. The concept behind OxLOrk is that each player controls musical parameters in real time, such that each piece is performed live with novel digital instruments. Hemispherical speakers allow sonic localization so that each performer is perceived individually, which creates the possibility for an “orchestra” of individually expressive players. Roles as president, co-founder, and conductor were both creative and administrative, including tasks as varied as concert planning, fundraising, rehearsing, programming—both in the digital and musical sense—and working to acquire and maintain the orchestra’s array of software and hardware. Founder and President, Undergraduate Composers Collective, Princeton University 2007 - 2011 The Undergraduate Composers Collective is a collaborative group of composers dedicated to helping each other improve their work and expand their musical ideas. The organization holds weekly meetings for a variety of purposes, most often to workshop compositions, and presents two concerts each year in collaboration with performers from the Juilliard School. Graduate student composers attend these meetings biweekly to share their compositions and offer feedback on undergraduate work. Other special events have included conducting seminars, opportunities to attend open rehearsals of professors’ works, and commissions from various ensembles on campus. Co-Founder and Director, Back in Tune, Waltersville Elementary, Bridgeport, CT 2005 - 2008 Back in Tune was an initiative designed to collect, refurbish, and distribute used instruments, as well as to provide musical instruction to underprivileged students in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Over 50 instruments were donated, totaling an approximate value of $11,470. The project received two grants from the United Way.

  • Catalogue 2009/10 ECM Paul Griffiths Bread and Water
    Catalogue 2009/10 ECM Paul Griffiths Bread and Water Here is someone standing at the entrance to the gallery who goes on talking all the time while almost all the visitors who come are rushing by in their eagerness to inspect what is on show inside. The hall a little way beyond is packed with rare and wonderful things, beautifully laid out and informatively labelled. There is much to see, much to learn. This is what the visitors have come for. Why, then, linger at the doorway? Why wait? But you, you have stopped. Thank you. Yes, this is the gallery, this the exhibition: a catalogue. We can use the word either to mean this paper object you hold in your hands or the totality of items a publisher or, as in this case, record company has available for sale: the CATALOGUE, as we may put it. Such a CATALOGUE is changeable as the ocean is: things will go (though rarely, where ECM is concerned), more will come. The catalogue, on the other hand, is fixed, a photograph of the ocean. There was a moment, probably before it reached print, when the catalogue was identical with the CATALOGUE. But that moment has passed and will not come again, for the ocean is growing and the photograph cannot. Is the catalogue therefore impoverished? No, no more than a photograph is. This is no snapshot, no fuzzy image trapped half_thoughtlessly on a mobile phone. Look at what you have in your hands: this is something well made, something composed. A professional photographer must have been invited to make a study of the ocean.

  • John Surman, Howard Moody Rain on the Window
    ECM John Surman, Howard Moody Rain on the Window John Surman: baritone and soprano saxophones, bass clarinet; Howard Moody: organ ECM 1986 CD 6025 171 5540 (4) Release: 15. April 2008 In the last year John Surman has been heard playing his own compositions on “The Spaces In Between” with bassist Chris Laurence and the Trans4mation String Quartet and improvising on 12th century chants and renaissance love songs inside John Potter’s Dowland Project on “Romaria”. He’s worked the European festival circuit playing music rooted in Arab modes with Anouar Brahem and Dave Holland in the recently reactivated “Thimar” trio, and recorded a new album in New York with John Abercrombie and Jack DeJohnette, for future release on ECM. Few other ‘jazz’ players work as wide a range of options, and “Rain in the Window”, an intimate duo recording, opens yet another new chapter in John Surman’s musical history, even as it harks back to one of the earliest chapters. As the CD booklet for “Rain on the Window” reminds us, John Surman made his first-ever recording in a duo with organ accompaniment, as a boy soprano, before he ever took up the saxophone. With spirituals part of the programme on the present disc, and a church as the recording location, the past is informing the present here. John Surman met Howard Moody in 1996, when Moody conducted the premiere of the oratorio “Proverbs & Songs” in Salisbury cathedral (see ECM 1639). “John Taylor was the organist in that original performance but, on several subsequent performances, when John was not available, Howard took over the role of organist in the piece.
