Feedback from my performance of an original composition Tapestry Tampa Bay
(Watch the whole piece in the video below…)
I conducted my composition “Tapestry Tampa Bay” for a new audience in Safety Harbor, Florida.
It is a piece for chamber ensemble in six movements, each describing a scene or an aspect of Tampa Bay that struck me as unique or unusual – just new experiences for a newcomer to the area.
- Beaches & Boats
- Skyway Bridge
- Grouper
- Downtown
- Churches & Arts
- Back for More
Feedback was amazing and very positive – see below – with requests to orchestrate some of the movements, as well as over 26,000 views of the 2012 World Premiere video.
