The year is slowly wrapping up (at least if you think of summer as the finish line), and although the past few months have been intense in many ways, I haven’t played live all that much.

That said, I saved three big ones for the final stretch—three shows I’m really excited about in the coming weeks.

This Tuesday, June 17, I’ll be playing with my Chamber Ensemble (Ivana Rus on clarinet, Connor Gentry on trombone, and Siul Angel Prado on cello)—a group where I’m trying out new ideas in composition and orchestration. It’s still an experimental project, but one I hope will be very active in the coming months.

On Friday, June 20, I’ll have the pleasure of playing at Porgy & Bess for the first time in a long while—this time with the Vienna Composers Big Band, an incredible project led by Jordi Roviró and Jonas Friesel. We’ll be playing Jordi’s music, which is seriously great stuff.

And on July 1, I’ll be back in Graz with my 11tet, performing the music we recorded in February, which will be featured on my third album, scheduled for release in 2026.

Hope to see some of you in any of those concerts!
