Happy 100th birthday in heaven to the great composer Morton Feldman! Here is a minute of his final composition “Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello” from our performance with pianist Dan Tepfer at the New York Studio School, where Feldman was the Dean from 1969 to 1971. What an incredible experience to be immersed in his music, especially in this space – oh how we’d love to play this piece again.

I can't share this video here because it's too long for Mastodon, but here's an Instagram link to "Fine Fantasy for Fadolín" by my father, Alexander Zhurbin, performed by me at a recent concert at Columbia University --> https://www.instagram.com/p/DR1_a2Qkaq5/

I’ll be performing it again at my dad’s 80th Birthday concert at @nypl_lpa on 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟖𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐭 𝟔𝐩𝐦, in a program that also features the NY premiere of his clarinet quintet with @samsadigursky @mirandacmusic and @triofadolin and much more! Hope to see you there! --Ljova #fadolín #fadolin #alexanderzhurbin #classicalmusic #music #newinstruments #newmusic #liveperformance #composers #ffff #lincolncenter #ilovenyc #columbiauniversity".
Happy New Year, dear friends on Mastodon! Here's a minute from "Castillo Interior" by the great Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks, in his own version for string trio. Hope that you'll enjoy!

(Do you need a concert photographer?) This was a wonderful weekend-long residency, organized by @lostmuralproject and @ohavizedek that featured class visits to Burlington High School and @universityofvermont, us playing for Yiddish Dancing as well as a premiere of a new piece composed for us on 12 hours notice by Burlington local legend Michael Schachter. I was also fortunate to catch a @uvmlaneseries concert of a new project by @valerie_coleman_music and the first snow of the year! Gratitude to everyone involved in organizing this joyous celebration, and to our guest musicians @simonescapades and @giraudo_pedro, as well as Kontraband stalwarts @mathiaskunzli and @nyc_globetrotter #vermont #music #burlington #snow #concerts #synagogues #accordion #bass #percussion #fadolín #fadolin #chambermusic #folkmusic #valeriecoleman #imaniwinds".
since you all enjoyed my last post mashing up "All of Me" with a Courante by Bach so much, here is "All of Me" with the theme from Super Mario Bros. I don't conceive of this being an ongoing series -- but hope that you'll enjoy nonetheless!

I get the silliest ideas while practicing - here’s “All of Me” in the style of a “Courante” by J. S. Bach. Enjoy? Kids - ask your parents for a Fadolín!
