wish every weekend could be a carlsbad weekend

i just got to Southern California for a weekend at the Carlsbad Music Festival. I was warmly greeted by Matt McBane, the festival’s creator and artistic director, who within five minutes of my arrival had picked for me, from his very own orchard, what must be the most delicious and succulent fig i have ever had the privilege to taste. really nice.

the festival kicked off last night with a satellite concert in L.A., and looks to be packed with great music, including a performance by the California EAR Unit tomorrow night and premieres on Saturday of new pieces by Jason Treuting, Charles Punchatz, and a 15-minute commission from Daniel Wohl. The Calder Quartet will be playing those works, along with that intense 2nd string quartet of Janacek, and a new piece of mine called The one you guard the most. ALSO - Fred Frith will be around for performances of his works tomorrow and on Sunday, which i’m really looking forward to. should be a great experience.

and on top of all that it’s like 90 degrees - love it.
