We’re almost there: 3 weeks until the Klein Competition! The participants have my three new commissioned solo string pieces. Three very different, but technically comparable works: Uncle Hokum’s Fiddle (violin), When The World Disintegrates Before Your Eyes (viola), and Triptych: Dark Waters, Parting, and Arriving Home (cello). Each contestant is required to perform the pieces for the semi-final round. The finalists have a choice to include my work on their finals program the next day. The semi-finals are Saturday, June 8th and the finals Sunday, June 9th at San Francisco State. For more details see: Klein Competition Timeline
