It's been a whirlwind the past couple of weeks, and amongst it all I am furiously writing to meet my first deadline for the opera in June. This past weekend I was featured on the Atlanta Composers Blog, and you can read the interview here: http://atlantacomposers.blogspot.com/2011/05/quick-q-with-nicole-chamberlain.html
This week I also meet with the Atlanta Opera's documentary team who are going to record the progress of the Atlanta Opera's first ever commission. I don't really know what we are going to discuss. I suppose the process up to this point. It's all very exciting, but I hope I can keep focused on the main objective which is writing good music.
I was also surprised by an announcement that my composition "Hopewell" for concert band will be performed by The Walker School Middle Band directed by Erik Kofoed on Friday for their Honors Day ceremonies. I will get to meet and work with the students some tomorrow. It's one thing to get a piece premiered, its another to get a second performance, its a whole different story to get another performance by another ensemble!

Atlanta Opera Commission and NFA Newly Published Work Finalist
What a week! First off "Smorgasbord" has been selected by the National Flute
Association as a Finalist for their Newly Published Music Competition. I will
finally be attending my first National Flute Convention in Charlotte, North
Carolina in August.
In other news, I can finally announce that the Atlanta Opera has commissioned me
to compose a children's opera based on Br'er Rabbit Tales compiled by Joel
Chandler Harris. Madeleine St. Romain has created a wonderful libretto for me to
use and the work will be premiered in October. The press release was sent today,
and as soon as it is posted to the Atlanta Opera site I will send a link as
well. Looks like I have lots of work to do this summer, but what fun it will be!
