So the time has come to talk about Berlin 2016.

Jaslyn Robertson, Ralph Whiteoak and I will have works performed at the Deutsche Oper Berlin on November 14 later this year. The performance group is the State Youth Ensemble New Music Berlin conducted by my dear colleague and friend Jobst Liebrecht. This post is an early invitation for all my friends in Europe and of course also for my Australian friends who might hang out in Berlin at that time.

The youth ensemble will present the first performances of the newly commissioned works by Jaslyn and Ralph and perform Sweet Spots, my chamber concertino for contrabass clarinet, which was commissioned in 2006 by the Alaskan new music organisation CrossSound and premiered with Kevin Schempf as soloist.
