Year Nearly Done

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

— Philip K. Dick

It has been a year of disruption, and therefore a time of comparatively slight accomplishment.  Our new choral music collective Triad organized, produced and broadcast our first “virtual concert,” which, as the country still waits for the distribution of the vaccine, will serve as the model of our Spring Concert


The Karl Henning Ensemble are considering how to return to performing for an audience.

I am still some distance from playing the clarinet, but that distance steadily narrows.

I revisited (while wondering when actual musicians may play them, my Symphony № 1 and some scenes from White Nights.


I must hope for and work toward better things in 2021.
