there are a lot of things I'm very
excited about
I get to play the Bruch Violin Concerto
which I haven't played since I was a
little kid and I'm very excited to come
back and revisit that as a as a more
mature artist I'm really looking forward
to giving the premiere of a new concerto
for four horns by tansy Davies and
conducted by essa Peka Solomon it'll be
my solo debut with the New York
Philharmonic along with three of my horn
section colleagues so I would say I'm 5%
nervous and 95% super excited to jump
into this piece November when the
Vladimir you offski does the complete
deafness and Chloe ballet we often
played the second suite but the complete
ballet is not often performed one of the
things I'm most excited about performing
is some of the movie music that we're
doing
Bernstein's West Side Story Breakfast at
Tiffany's some of the music that I heard
growing up Mahler won and Muller for
with Munford Hornick and Alan Gilbert
these are some of the most beautiful
symphonies one of my favorite composers
I am really looking forward to
Tchaikovsky Festival I have worked with
simon petrikov on different repertory
and i really admire him as a musician as
a composer and as a man with the worldly
experience as well as Russian background
where I'm looking forward to ringing in
2017 with the baulkham trombone concerto
and on the same program is Wynton
Marsalis new commission and then of
course Allan Gilbert's complete
Rheingold at the end of this season and
concluding his tenure here at the New
York Philharmonic and
and also we're doing the Dvorak sixth
symphony and that's a great piece for
trombonist so and low brass so I'm
really excited about that
I'm very lucky and that I am preparing a
viola concerto written by a young female
composer Julia Adolph it's a wonderful
piece so far it gives the veal a lot of
opportunity to show color and texture
and tons of temperament so I'm very
excited to do that and also to work with
the aplans Faden who will be conducting
the piece in November
