In less than two weeks, my first symphony will have its world premiere. I’ve been corresponding with the director at VSU, and my excitement builds more and more every day.
Working with Dr. Brashier has been a delight. He agreed to the premiere wholeheartedly before he had seen or heard a note of the piece. Wow! During the rehearsal process he found a few “bugs” and made a few suggestions, all of which I have duly noted. Due to these corrections, this means that the PDF I submitted to KU for my thesis is obsolete already!
Update: The Valdosta State University web site now has some information (and a picture!) about the concert on their web site.
In other news, I’ve started work on a quartet for Meggi Sweeney’s senior dance project at KU. This “project” will have several performances at the end of November/early December. I’ve been racking my brain trying to get a really good idea for it. One of these days.. it will happen.

Brian-
Congrats! It’s been a while since I have seen you or Kat, but it looks like things are going well for you and I’m glad.
I have a little free publicity offer for you. I work in the Office of Public Relations at good old ABAC and would love if you could drop me an e-mail about your debut at VSU and some ABAC-related memories, musically and otherwise.
Please let me know if this can be done. Again, congrats, you deserve it!
Hi Elizabeth!
Thanks for your comment. Yes, it has been a while since we’ve seen you. Alas, I hope you are doing well.
Thanks for the publicity offer. I’ll send you an e-mail.
Hi Brian,
Congrats on your success. Wish I could have been a better composer. BTW, have you contacted Wayne Jones about your premier? He would really love to hear from you.
Good luck to you!

Hi Lesli!
Yes, I contacted Wayne Jones a week or two ago. He and Don Coates should both be at the concert.
Thanks!
