For anyone in New York and/or interested, I'll have the premiere of one of
my Silent Durations on February 22nd. Here are the concert details.
Composer’s Voice – Feb. 22nd 1 p.m.
Jan Hus Sanctuary
351 East 74th Street (between 1st and 2nd Avenues, East side)
Subway line 6, 68th St –Hunter College or 77th St.
The work to be played is Silent Durations XXVIII for piano four hands. Other
works include my Stilness for piano solo and Catherine Schneider's Four
Excursions. As far as I know only my piece has extended periods of silence.
I've put two of my Silent Durations on my Myspace site, Silent Durations XXI
for cello solo and the first movement of Silent Durations I for piano solo.
My site is at www.myspace.com/drakemabry
all the best,
Drake
