Re: Mandolin Concerts of Note
How wonderful! I wish both the very, very best— which they surely deserve!
What "poetic irony", too... For as happy as I was to write my Antwerp Harbor for my friend Joe Brent, I could not help but think, "Mandolin and harp! Who else will ever play such a piece?" Think again: Ferdinand and Annegreet gave SUCH a lovely performance of this dreamy, misty, foggy score last October that I had to reconsider my earlier skepticism. Apparently they have taken this score and run with it. Once again, the outcome is far beyond my wildest, most optimistic expectations.
Along the same lines, a colleague recently asked me for a second composition for mandolin and bass (second, that is, to my earlier Garlands, written for Chris Acquavella & bassist Jeremy Kurtz). Once again, the sly Muse is winking at me from the most unexpected angles...
Cheers to all those amazing, extraordinary mandolin + You'd-Never-Imagine-What duos!
