Diagenesis returns to Boston!

What a great trip! Jen and I arrived in Boston on March 3 for our masterclasses at Boston Conservatory and our concert with the Equilibrium Concert Series. A highlight of this trip for us was reconnecting with composer Mischa Salkind-Pearl and soprano Tony Arnold. Those two were both part of our first projects as a duo - full circle!



We love working with composers when we visit conservatories and universities, and the composers at Boston Conservatory were no exeption. On March 4th we spent almost 2 hours presenting for the composition seminar. It was fun to show them excerpts of the music that has been written for us and to introduce them to the possibilities of writing for soprano and cello.

March 6 was our masterclass for the chamber music department. We presented about our projects and day-to-day ensemble function as a duo, then performed for the students. Next two fantastic chamber groups performed for us. The class asked great questions and played beautifully - it was so fun to work with them.

Our concert on the 6th was at a great venue in Inman Square, The Lilypad. It's an intimate setting and was the perfect place for our repertoire. Jen has been working on Jackson Mac Low’s Asymmetries for some time now, and I requested that we perform one for the concert. SO COOL. I can see why she is so into them, and I'm looking forward to performing them with her again.

It was a great, productive, and fulfilling trip. Looking forward to the next one!
