Upcoming: Detroit Jazz Festival and Strange Beautiful Music

Hey Friends,

Sad to say, but it seems like another summer is quickly passing us by. If you’re in the Detroit area, come celebrate the summer that was and the autumn that will be at these two incredible festivals:

Balance @ the Detroit Jazz Festival

My collaborative duo with saxophonist Marcus Elliot, Balance, will be performing at the Detroit Jazz Festival this weekend. Featuring music from our latest record Conjure and fresh off a summer tour, we’re excited to be back in Detroit to share this music.

With Virago at Strange Beautiful Music

Strange Beautiful Music, the annual festival from New Music Detroit, is upon us. Amidst an incredible lineup, I’m thrilled to say that I’ll be performing with my friends in Virago. We’ll be playing my piece From Darkness We Awaken, which we premiered at the Detroit Institute of Arts just over a year ago. Also on the program is Harriet Steinke’s Listening For Bells. I can’t wait.

Much more coming this Fall, including two world premieres and a nice run of shows with my trio. More on that soon. Thanks, as always, for your attention and support.


In gratitude,

-Michael
