Matt Haimovitz’s cello (case:) taking a rest in a lovely spot in the University of Missouri journalism school, just before our panel on “Music and New Media” with music critics Greg Sandow and Tim Page and members of the Eighth Blackbird ensemble. Good crowd, interesting questions.

Matt Haimovitz rehearsing for his Thursday eve concert at University of Missouri. He played 3 pieces of mine, plus we improvised – with me on keyboard and laptop – using specially prepared material from my piece, VinylCello, that I wrote for him a few years ago.
Central quadrangle – with columns from a previous building – at University of Missouri. Was there for new music festival, and had fun giving keynote talk, lectures, master classes, and concert with Matt Haimovitz. Perfect fall weather too.
