I am finally back to normal life, but had a great time at the 9th Festival of Women Composers. The performance of "Mangosteen" went very well, and I got to meet some fabulous people. I even got to have dinner with Katherine Hoover and she gave some good sound advice.
This week, I had my first flute book published called "Flutology - the Fundamentals". Basically its a reference guide with fingering charts, trill charts, scales, and exercises that I had been using in my lessons, and my publisher thought I should turn all those materials in a book. I even got to design the cover. So here it is: http://www.clearnote.net/Flutology.html
Next on my plate is to practice for Brian's masters composition recital. I am playing on 3 of the larger works and I am excited about the caliber of performers we were able to book for his recital. His recital is May 2nd at Georgia State University's Kopleff Recital Hall at 3pm and open to the public. More info as we get closer to the performance.

Dear March, Come In!
March is an exciting month this year, especially for a couple of my compositions. The best part is I get to travel and perform!
"Mangosteen" is having an especially good month. It is finally published by Clear Note Publications. You can buy a copy at Carere Music here in Atlanta or you can buy it online at http://www.clearnote.net/Mangosteen.html. Some copies have already been sold at the Georgia Guitar Symposium in Columbus, GA. I am also going to perform the work again on March 20 at 3pm with guitarist Irvin Kauffman at the International Festival of Women Composers at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I am looking forward to hearing alot of great works performed and learning about new pieces in the lectures from the 18-20th. And hopefully I'll get to visit some with the in-laws.
"Smorgasbord" is being performed today in Paris, France by James Strauss at Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris Alfred Cortot. I wish I could be there, but the finances just wouldn't allow it. I hope he is able to get a recording of it. It would be nice to hear someone else perform it for a change.
Last, but not least, I'll be performing with Mercury Season on March 17 at Georgia Perimeter College Dunwoody Campus at 1pm. We will be performing music from Ireland. The concert will include my arrangements of "Brian Borus March", "Irish Confetti", and "Molly on the Shore".
March is a busy month, but should also be a blast. Anytime I get to travel is a good time. I've already been to Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, Columbus,GA, and Savannah, GA this year. We'll be making it out to Boston for a wedding and hopefully a concert in June. Should be an exciting year!
