Octavio Vazquez

Wednesday, 13 March 2019 by Eight Strings & a Whistle
Many years ago, in fact far longer ago than I care to remember, I had a teaching position at Turtle Bay Music School, a community music school in midtown Manhattan. Although I left Turtle Bay a long time ago, I am still in touch with several students I taught there and one faculty member. That one faculty

Scott Brickman

Tuesday, 12 March 2019 by Eight Strings & a Whistle
I am very excited to be posting this next featured composer interview with Scott Brickman. Initially, all we knew about him was that Dr. Brickman is the music faculty of the University of Maine at Fort Kent. Mysteriously, he was never in Fort Kent when we performed in the area.  But over the last three years,

Martin Rokeach

Monday, 11 March 2019 by Eight Strings & a Whistle
My initial contact with Martin Rokeach, who lives near San Francisco, began while coaching a chamber work of his for one of my classes at NYU. Not long thereafter, Marty started sending me other pieces he thought would be of interest. I found all of them to be rhythmically lots of fun, alternating between eeriness

John Newell

Saturday, 09 March 2019 by Eight Strings & a Whistle
Every summer I head up to Maine, to a wonderful (and until recently, forgotten) old fishing village called Lubec. Lubec is the eastern most point of the United States and lies across from Campobello Island, where one can find the former summer residence of the Roosevelt family. I still remember the day I arrived there

Péter Kőszeghy

Friday, 08 March 2019 by Eight Strings & a Whistle
The beauty and the beast of contemporary technology lie in how easily it puts in touch us with the rest of the world, and how easy it makes it for people to find us –– whether we want them to or not!  Many years ago I joined LinkedIn.  Many people I knew were using it

Hilary Tann

Wednesday, 06 March 2019 by Eight Strings & a Whistle
During the fall of 2002, an envelope addressed to Matt showed up in our mailbox. It was from Oxford University Press and contained a copy of Hilary Tann’s The Walls of Morlais Castle for oboe, viola and cello. Even though the instrumentation was not quite right, we decided to read through it. The piece was inspired by

Tom Flaherty

Tuesday, 05 March 2019 by Eight Strings & a Whistle
We are very excited to be performing Tom Flaherty’s Moments of Inertia during our 2011-12 season. The piece was commissioned by Dinosaur Annex for its 26th season and premiered in Boston on May 4, 2003. We found out about it in the same way we find many works that have not been composed specifically for us –by
