Great news! The Oregon Wind Ensemble finished a recording session for the wind arrangement of Ára Bátur last week! We will be editing it this week and I will send a copy to the band. Hopefully we will be able to put it up for fans to listen to – stay tuned!

I will be conducting one of the pieces with the Oregon Wind Ensemble – Jonathan Newman’s Chunk – a FUNK piece for wind band! I will also be playing piano on the world premiere of an arrangement I made of the song Ara Batur by the band Sigur Rós. Here is a link to a YouTube video of the original recording the band did at Abbey Road Studios. CLICK HERE.
The event goes from 6 pm until 10 pm and includes a lot of amazing music that doesn’t get heard very often! The concerts will be in different rooms throughout the music building including the courtyard outside
Hope to see you there!
