Announcing “Flight of Ecstasy”!

Over the course of two weekends in June 2025, I had the immense privilege of participating in a three-concert series around Los Angeles County featuring SOCAL-CELLO-CENTRIC: a group of local composers and musicians. Twelve of us were invited to compose brand new original works featuring the cello in various ways, and we all pitched in together to perform each others’ works for local audiences.

For my part of this project, I embraced my long-time love of Nordic symphonic-metal — think bands like Within Temptation and Nightwish — to create a driving and fierce string trio called “Flight of Ecstasy”! Here, this video below takes the best moments from all three concerts during its premiere run to create a taste of what a joy it was to perform this work, joined with Julissa Bozman on viola and Kathryn Carson on cello.

A studio recording is currently in the works, and you can grab the sheet music at this link and try it out for yourself!

Samedi soir, avec @bibos et @nicolasgarcia92, j'étais au Festival du Coin de l'Impasse, dans un quartier de #Malakoff, animé par des habitant·es bénévoles réuni·es en association. Depuis six ans, ils et elles animent le quartier toute la journée, et plusieurs groupes viennent s'y produire.

C'était le cas notamment de Prudence HGL, dont voici ci-joint le titre Home.
