Summer and Beyond

Well, it was quite the summer! My wife and I celebrated the arrival of our first child, Ellie Rose Graham, on August 2!

The summer also included F-PLUS at the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival for two weeks around Detroit, and a performance of George Crumb's "Music For a Summer Evening" on the Chicago Duo Piano Festival.

This fall, after a small "paternity leave" from performing, I'm looking forward to many different performances coming up (but almost all marimba-centric!).

-F-PLUS at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro and Washington University (St. Louis)

-Duo Recitals with Flutist Nicole Frankel in Chicago

-A series of performances with the Orion Ensemble

-"Evolving Elements" by Alice Ping Yee Ho for Marimba and String Quartet with the Zafa Collective at Constellation-Chicago and the Milwaukee Art Museum

Looking forward to the fall and all it holds!
