Last winter I was commissioned by the Bach and Beethoven Experience to write new music for early-music instrumentation. It’s been a real joy to work with the musicians of this fantastic ensemble and to learn about their fascinating instruments and to try to adapt my idiom to their language.
The resulting 5 pieces comprise Stories of the Bloomingdale Trail, and are being premiered as part of BBE’s Chicago Stories Book Two together with exciting new work by Regina Baiocchi and Kurt Westerberg.
