I have written a duet for violin and piano for Hilary Hahn‘s Encore Contest. I submitted my entry in the latter half of February. Unfortunately, the rules state that I cannot publish it until the end of June 2015, whether I win or not, so it will be some time before I can post an audio rendition of any kind on this site. I can tell you that I am very proud of it and, regardless of the outcome, I had a lot of fun and a wonderful experience composing a piece for someone of Ms. Hahn’s talents.

On a related note, my friend got me a ticket to see her in concert in San Francisco this May. It seems to be a Hilary Hahn kind of year so far, which isn’t a bad thing at all.
