Current Doings

June, 2009: The Hangzhou Youth Orchestra, on tour from China, will perform the world premiere of "Blake Leads a Walk on the Milky Way" on July 25 (Rialto Center for the Arts, Atlanta) and July 26 (Centre for the Performing and Visual Arts, Newnan).  This is a traditional instrument orchestra, so the event should be quite interesting.

Currently, I am engaged with a couple of projects.  I have taken up my brushes after decades and have started painting.  One series I'm working on involves abstractions based on news photos I find appealing.  Another is a group portrait of the Lichtenbergians, the society of creative procrastinators of which I am chair.

My other main project is the "24 hour challenge," a composition project the details of which you can read about (and participate in) here.

During the summer, I'm at the Georgia Governor's Honors Program, serving as its assistant program director for instruction.
