World premiere at November Music
For November Music this year, I was asked to write a solo violin piece for Niek Baar. I did this and what was resulted was my piece for solo violin and Tibetan singing bowl, called “Monkey Mind.” This piece would also be played at a symposium for how spirituality relates to music, and this was my guiding factor for adding a Tibetan singing bowl. During the performance, Niek will “bow” the singing bowl just as he would his instrument, and this creates a meditative, and at the same time theatrical, atmosphere to the performance. If this sounds interesting, please come to the performance on November 4th!
