Thanks For Your Support!

Thanks to everyone who came out to hear the Bronx Arts Ensemble Orchestra play "For Pondering" last Sunday!  (And to the rain, for holding off until 5 minutes after the concert's end!)  As the first performance of my music by a fully-professional orchestra, it was a small milestone of sorts.  Some friends and family were there to share in a live performance of my music for the first time; and some audience members who I did not know previously are now new friends.

Overall, it was nice to see a diverse audience come together for such a diverse program, with everything from Broadway to Barber to Latin music.  Some folks bobbed in their seats under the tent, while others sprung up on the lawn to dance.  

As for "For Pondering," David Gilbert and the BAE Orchestra gave the piece a beautifully fluid interpretation and needless to say, I left New York a very happy Oliver.

Now it's onto upcoming ventures!  More information soon...
