Here is what he had to say about this show at The DSO on his website...
"We will be performing our triple concerto with the Detroit Symphony, January 9-11, 2009.
This is a project that has been coming together for quite a while. It is working its way to front and center, where it will be in September and October when we go on tour together.
The concerto will be recorded for a new release that will also include the new trio repertoire that we have been composing.We have been getting together to write and rehearse for a couple of years now, and it is a project with a lot of promise!"
