This past summer I had a month-long residency at the Creative Kids Education Foundation in Bel Air, California, and one of the projects I worked on there was an overture to a short operatic film for the Portland 48-Hour Film Festival. I subsequently expanded that into a new piece for large orchestra, which was recorded last week by the Curtis Symphony Orchestra, conducted by David Gier in the conservatory’s beautiful new Lenfest Hall in Philadelphia.
