š"Gently freak out your little ones..." a ringing endorsement from the Boston Globe of Saturday's Dinosaur Annex Music Ensemble's family-friendly concert featuring the premiere of my new piece Swerve and performances of works by Jen Wang, Lou Bunk, and Jean Ahn. Full promo here:

"YOUNG AT ART: For parents dead-set on warping their childrenās minds nice and early, you can go ahead and drag those Kidz Bop albums to the trash. (Please. Do it.) Dinosaur Annex is a new music ensemble (celebrating 45 years) that specializes in opening up the oft-forbidding realm of contemporary music to new ears by redefining the terms of the concert itself. On Saturday at 11 a.m., the ensemble teams up with Rock & Roll Daycare for āPlaydate" a family-friendly āinformal daytime performanceā that āencourages parents and children to discard typical concert etiquette by not worrying about āsilenceā or sitting stillā ā and you gotta love the scare quotes around āsilenceā there. Gently freak out your little ones with an ambient soundtrack of sonically adventurous works by Pauline Oliveros, Jen Wang, Peter Maxwell Davies, Lou Bunk, Jean Ahn, and Loretta Notareschi. Itās a free performance, but reservations are requested; make those here."
