Gargoyle Garden

I'm excited to post my 2nd entry (okay, I know I took a very looooooong time between the first and second posts). I've been working hard on a new show, a musical called Gargoyle Garden that is part of the NYC Fringe Festival (it's a big deal). The show is about a boy (Edgar Allen Densmore, that's him on the left) who meets some friendly gargoyles. It's more complicated than that, but you'll have to see it yourself if you want to know the whole story. The music was composed by my very good friend Allen Schulz, and the script was written by the funny and talented Jeff LaGreca (of Minimum Wage Burgerboy fame), who's also directing the show. My role as music director of the show is a lot of fun, and I am very proud to be a part of it. The show is family friendly, so if you're in NYC in the next 2-3 weeks - and especially if you have kids - come check it out. The first shows are this Saturday, Aug 9, 7:45 pm, and Sunday, Aug 10, 5:30 pm, at 45 Bleeker Street. For the complete schedule, tickets, and more info, click here.

Besides Gargoyle Garden, I'm working very hard on looking for more musical work. I've been so busy this summer and will be quite busy in the coming concert season, but there's always room for more music in my life. I'm also working hard planning a September 30 fundraiser for the Round Rock Symphony (my Austin-area orchestra), and the October 10-11 season-opener concert for the Astoria Symphony (my Queens, NY-based orchestra). Both events are extremely important to my mission and the missions of those two organizations.

Wish me luck!
