To mark the unimaginable milestone of 1 million lost from Covid-19, I'm reposting Esther Julie-Anne’s film of 'Elegy... for those we lost.' In honor of the lost, loved ones who’ve endured boundless grief, & to reflect on how Covid has changed the world. youtu.be/imI_7F3Gq_Y

This is a fun one - tune in to the conversation I had with @tarikoregan & "Rick" tonight. We chatted about life, music and the upcoming work, which they cocommissioned. See you then! #composer

Thrilled to share a mvt from my new Sonatine which @JamesEhnes & @orionweiss premiered recently @DukePerformance. The 3rd mvt “Catch That Train” quotes Sam Ballard’s 1934 performance of that song from an Alan Lomax collection. TY James, Orion & @DukeU! bit.ly/3mnzjVT

Elegy...to those we lost. 51 families honored & remembered. After my own thankfully mild case, I wrote this piece & commissioned a film from Esther Shubinski to honor the dead & give even a little solace to families. Please look, listen & be safe. youtu.be/imI_7F3Gq_Y

Kind words from Nieuwe Noten in the Netherlands! "In his own country, [Kernis] is one of the greatest. @naxosrecords rightly proves this with a CD on which 'Color Wheel' and Kernis' fourth symphony are performed by the @nashvillesymph." bit.ly/3kxZO9O
