The details and programme are now available for the Ben Verdery concert at Chamberfest where I will be playing in the guitar orchestra for “Scenes from Ellis Island”. It will take place at 2:45 on Saturday, July 27, at the National Gallery and will be free to attend. The St. Lawrence String Quartet will also perform:
As part of Ottawa Chamberfest, I will be playing in the guitar orchestra for the performance of Ben Verdery’s composition Scenes from Ellis Island on July 27. Should be fun.
Just received noticed that I’ve been accepted to perform my piece S(h)immer at the 21st Century Guitar conference/festival, which will take place in Ottawa from Aug 22-25 and looks to be a fascinating event. I will also be playing as part of a teleconferenced improvisation with William Beauvais and will give a lecture on my compositional work for guitar on the 25th. Here’s a video of a pretty loose first performance of S(h)immer from last spring. It should be a lot tighter this summer!
Details have been announced for ONMC’s Cowan-Cicchilitti Guitar Duo concert on October 13. The event will take place at 8 pm at the Cube Gallery at 1285 Wellington St. W. My new composition Warp (completed yesterday) will be performed. It is written almost entirely for harmonics on two guitars in different tunings that allow for every pitch class to be sounded as a natural harmonic, with emphasis on the fifth harmonic (14 cents flat, relative to equal temperament) at cadences. Adam and Steve sounded great when we workshopped the piece.

A preliminary programme is up for the AMS/SMT joint conference in San Antonio in November here.
Melvin Backstrom and I are scheduled to present our analysis of the Grateful Dead’s “Blues for Allah” on Thursday, Nov 1, in an SMT panel titled “Floyd and the Dead” (!), chaired by John Covach (!!).
The authors of the programme seemed to have shifted both of our locations one major city to the east, however, placing Melvin in Quebec City and myself in Montreal.
