MetLife Creative Connections award for EVP composers

Emerging Voices Project has earned a MetLife Creative Connections award from New Music USA! Elisabeth Halliday and I will be performing works by Kathleen Bader, Amy Beth Kirsten, and George Lam in an East Coast tour this winter.  The award will support pre-concert talks by our composers, interviews, and performance videos posted to YouTube. We are very grateful to have our project "Funded in part through New Music USA's MetLife Creative Connections program"!

New music in a library!?

EVP is excited to present our commissioned music at the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, MD!  Come check us out on Feb 4 @ 2pm.  We'll be splitting the program with Zach's colleagues Jeremiah Baker and Cara Salveson.

Navy Band Sax Symposium!

We are honored to announce that our project was selected to present a recital at the Navy Band's International Saxophone Symposium!  This yearly event is hosted at the George Mason University in Fairfax, VA.  We will be performing the three commission pieces off our CD: Adam Knauss' Portrait, Kathleen Bader's Two Songs for the Sounds Outside, and George Lam's The Person In The Room Wishes To Be Left Alone.

All events at the symposium are free, so if you are in the area come see us Friday, January 20 at 6:30-7pm in the Chorus Room!

CD Released!

Well, September flew by with lots of rehearsals, two CD release concerts, designing a store on Zach's website, and mailing out CDs to our donors.  We had a wonderful time premiering the music from our new CD in Lexington, MA and NYC, but really we can't wait to get to more cities!  On our list is Boston, Providence, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and DC.  Of course as soon as concerts are booked, we'll post the info.

In the mean time, head over to http://www.zachherchen.com/store/ and check out our CD Emerging Voices!

One final thing, we had a pre-concert party in NYC that included desert on the subway ride to our concert.  This picture is so awesome, we have to share:

Lexington on Sept 18

Our Lexington, MA concert is officially rescheduled for Sunday, Sept 18 @ 2pm at Follen Church!  We hope to see you (and no hurricanes) there!

Lexington Concert Cancelled

The concert is cancelled!

If you were planning on braving the weather to see us play new music, then you are awesome. Please stay home and be safe! We'll reschedule for September.

For those of you who donated on Kickstarter, CDs and downloads will be sent out on Monday. For everyone else, CDs will go on sale through www.zachherchen.com starting late next week.

Keeping an eye on hurricane Irene

Hurricane Irene is expected to reach Massachusetts just in time for our concert (thanks mother nature). Sunday morning we will check the latest weather report. If we need to cancel or move the concert we will post here, on our Facebook event page, and send emails.
