    Thank you to all my supporters!

    Kickstarter was a wonderful success.  I am so grateful for the generous outpouring of kind wishes.   Thank you to everyone for their support, without which we could not make this project happen.   We have now recorded Glimpses and now are in the middle of making final edits to send to Naxos.  I will have more updates as time goes on, however the CD is slated to be released in September 2012.  Metropolis Ensemble and I will have a launch party in New York, so stay tuned for more news.

    Happy holidays to you and yours!

    Conor Hanick, pianist

    Hi Everyone - Thank you to the tremendous showing of support - we have successfully launched our campaign and are a little closer to our goal.   Conor Hanick (pictured above) and I just had a rehearsal last night of "Glimpses," and I know that Conor will be tremendous - he has some wonderful ideas for the work, and has the chops to back it up!  Our recording session will be next week, so stay tuned.
