A really well-written blog post by @JodieEBlackshaw arguing in favor of expanding programming beyond the currently entrenched repertoire. "'I just play good music, I don’t care who wrote it…'" Check it out! Thanks to @freshincfest for sharing. https://t.co/AoPGXtpI41

Just received a message from the teacher who’s class I did outreach in yesterday. Performed music by living composers. The teacher reports 18 of her 25 students have asked if they can take viola lessons.

Young students LOVE music by living #composers.

I am so excited to announce I am curating an anthology of new music for viola (solo viola or viola/piano) to be published by @NewMusicShelf, @dennistobenski Trudy Chan, @BlackTeaMusic

Money: something we don't always like to talk about, but an important part of the dialogue around creating space for underrepresented voices in the arts. https://t.co/Gi0FpGzWR8

Happy Moment for the day. Lighting fires of curiosity and enthusiasm.

The moment when a student realizes living #composer (s) are really where it's at.

I was asked if I knew any new music written for viola by women composers. Here's a list of pieces I've recently performed.

@NewMusicUSA Do I spy @nonstandardrep?

[Brian Lauritzen: Bluesky + Threads @brianlauritzen @lauritzen_brian]

World, U.S., and regional premieres are great, but how do we generate similar organizational pride for presenting the 5th, 12th, and 23rd performance of a piece of #contemporarymusic? It's the non-premieres that really give a piece its life.

Check out these awesome photos from @NANOWorksOpera's productions of "Ne'er" (by Marc Hoffeditz) and "A World Apart" (with libretto by @yankgonesouth)! Looking great, @Hay1_St0rm and @la_vie_musicale! https://t.co/IvEWkajMKv

[NANOWorks Opera @NANOWorksOpera]

Toi toi to all and thank you to everyone who made last week's workshop and performances possible! Stay tuned for more production photos and performance photos!

[Justin Giarrusso @JustinGiarrusso]

[Justin Giarrusso @JustinGiarrusso]

And congrats @yankgonesouth! I'll have audio and video to share with you soon!

[Justin Giarrusso @JustinGiarrusso]
