I am honored to be a recipient of the 2010 Chamber Music America New Jazz works grant. I'll compose a concert-length work featuring EDGE plus trombone, tuba, erhu and pipa.
I served on a Point of Departure "What's New" panel alongside J.D. Parran and Russh Gershon, discussing cross-cultural collaborations with host Bill Shoemaker.
STORIES BEFORE WITHIN has been released by Innova Records. Already it has reached #9 in the national CMJ radio charts! Go to Innova Records to purchase.
Read all the wonderful reviews under "Press." You can purchase EDGE in my "Store." EDGE features Taylor Ho Bynum (cornet/flugelhorn), Andrew Drury (drum kit), Ken Filiano (string bass) and myself (composer/violin).
EDGE is #14 on the CMJ (USA) and #4 on the EARSHOT (Canada) radio charts.
LOCAL LINGO has garnered wonderful reviews . Read them under "Press."
LOCAL LINGO has also appeared on weekly CMJ's Top Ten radio lists around the country.
LOCAL LINGO, my duets with Sang Won Park, broke into the top 60 (chartbound) of the Jazz Week world radio charts. Jazz Week is comprised mainly of of mainstream NPR stations, so this is very gratifying.
I recently composed 20 cues for "Young and Restless in China," a two-hour FRONTLINE special that will be broadcast on PBS this coming June. There will be a one-week theatrical run in NYC this spring, TBA.
"Tea and Justice, " a one-hour documentary about Asian American women in the NYPD, directed by Ermina Vinluan, edited by Sandrine Isambert has won two awards at the 2007 Queens International Film Festival - Best Documentary and Outstanding Contribution by a Filmmaker. I scored and performed the music for this film.
On April 9th, 2006, I gave a lecture/presentation for "Music and the Asian Diaspora," an academic conference sponsored by the Westminster Choir College of Rider University in Princeton, NJ. Soprano Sandia Ang sang excerpts from my opera "The Floating Box, A Story in Chinatown," and I performed a violin improvisation.
OPERA NEWS has selected "The Floating Box, A Story in Chinatown" as one of the top ten opera recordings of 2005. "The Floating Box" is available for purchase in my "Store."
From April 25-May 7, 2006 I toured with Portugal, Slovakia, Hungary, and Italy with Ravish Momin's Trio Tarana. Our second CD, "Live at the Smithsonian" was released by the Polish label Nottwo Records on May 1st. Shanir Bluemenkrantz and I left Trio Tarana shortly after our return to New York City.
