Meet New Morse Code
For the past few years, I've had the joy of making music together with Hannah Collins as New Morse Code. We made a short video as a way of introducing people to our group and what we do. Stay tuned for more exciting news!

Winter in Syracuse
Society for New Music presents “The Now Generation” | The NewsHouse | Syracuse University and Community News - S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. Nice words about our show in Syracuse with Society for New Music. I had a blast playing Andy Akiho and Robert Honstein's great music at the Everson Museum.

New Morse Kerekes
In a few weeks New Morse Code is presenting a concert with our dear friend Paul Kerekes, featuring his music and pieces by his colleagues and influences, including fellow Yale School of Music alumni Hannah Lash, Marc Mellits and David Lang. In addition to being a great composer, Paul is a terrific pianist, and will be joining us for the concert.
The program will center around two trios, Kerekes' Three Rooms, written in 2012 for us, and Marc Mellits' exuberant and quirky Tight Sweater. The concert will also feature two of Paul’s other works: Vantages for solo piano and Reach for cello and piano, as well as duos by Hannah Lash and David Lang.
We're playing November 23rd in New Haven at Trinity Lutheran, and the 24th in New York at Spectrum. For more information, check out press releases for the New Haven and New York performances.
