New Mandolin Music, Coming Up...
Dear friends,
our mandolin community is ever "the gift that keeps on giving". While my decade of 100+ mandolin-works is well behind me, my love for our instrument is of course undiminished, and the friendships I have formed with fellow mandolinists over the years as warm as ever— and my many mandolinist friends seem to remember me, too.
As a result, I am booked solid with requests to write mandolin music stretching all the way till June 2016, believe it or not. On my plate at present is a short work for unaccompanied mandolin for Caterina Lichtenberg, whose students will be performing music from the Balkans in Bulgaria on January 17, 2015; a duet for mandolin and mandola for Chris Acquavella and Fabio Gallucci, slated for recording in 2015; an ambitious work for countertenor and plucked orchestra for Het Consort of the Netherlands, slated for performance at the world-renowned Concertgebouw in Amsterdam; a quartet for two mandolins, guitar and bass on a private commission, slated for performance in 2016.
As is always my practice, I will be circulating all these scores freely after their respective premieres. First, time to roll up my sleeves...
Cheers to one and all mandolinists around the world,
Victor
