Hello Blog

Hello Blog,
how I have missed thee. .... No not really.... I haven't missed thee at all. Facebook seems to be consuming most of my wasted internet communication applications so thie blog has fallen by the wayside. This is not to say I will not update it any more, in fact this is an update now:

So I finished and received my Masters of Music in Music on June 14th, and so that is that. I moved to a new apartment on June 15th, attended a wedding on June 16th and as of yesterday, I'm in Ottawa attending the National Arts Centre Summer Music Institute Young Composers Program, (or in it's short form: NAC SMI YCP). It's a week of concerts, workshops, readings and masterclasses for Composers, but it runs simoltaneously with the Conducting and Performance NAC programs, so there's lots of cross disciplinary events going on. Today is the first meeting and I have no idea what to expect. However I look forward to the Pinkas Zukerman Master class this evening. As well on Monday I get a reading of one of my works with the SMI Orchestra which is an amazing opportunity to hear a work played by an orchestra of semi-proffesional caliber.

So In conclusion, I'm very busy, but Ecotone is not dead. I will make my best efforts to update more often. More about this exciting (I hope) week in Ottawa.
