A finalist for The American Prize for Chamber Music, String Quartet No. 1 (”City Walks”) has been performed at the HellHot Festival in Hong Kong and by members of the Magik*Magik* Orchestra as part of the You Are Hear festival at San Francisco International Airport.
It is a single-movement work (12'30") exploring a variety of stylistic and emotional zones, from a sweeping, mournful – almost cantorial – cello solo at the beginning to lively scherzo finale.
