As part of Weill Music Institute, Carnegie hosts a workshop in small group composition and improvisation. This is an opening for twelve to fourteen player/composers to work in New York for a week, fully funded, and participate in two final performances. Click the link for application details – the deadline for applicants is September 15, 2009.

It will be a pretty hands-on, intimate forum to create new work. Aside from directing the workshop, I have invited the members of my Quintet to be a part of the workshop and performances: Donny McCaslin, Uri Caine, James Genus, and Clarence Penn will all be there. I’m working on new music of my own that will be workshopped as well. We’re looking for a small group of inspiring musicians to take part – please check it out at the link above.
