đś An absolutely electrifying night at Carnegie Hall! Our performance of âReverberationsâ explored the interconnected web between inspiration and imagination, and was completely SOLD OUT! Swipe for some fave moments â¨
It was a surreal experience and an immense honor to take the stage, but also to shape the eveningâs program as a curator and co-conspirator to showcase the work of Aaron Copland, Hannah Kendall, Hanns Eisler, Woody Guthrie/Billy Bragg/Claire Bryant, and a world premiere performance of Ringdownâs gorgeous and tender âEvery Stone in Cambridge Reminds Me of Youâ.
I am so grateful to have shared this creative process with my absolutely intrepid co-AD @fostermycello and the luminous @ringdownmusic, who brought the most thoughtful approach, deep presence, and generosity on and off the stage, for all of my friends in @decodamusic who gave their unique voices and whole hearts to our collaboration, and to @londonisburning for capturing the whole evening so beautifully. Hereâs to many more unforgettable nights of music-making! đťâ¤ď¸

ââŚas soon as I had recognized the taste of the piece of madeleine soaked in her decoction of lime-blossom which my aunt used to give meâŚimmediately the old grey house upon the street, where her room was, rose up like a stage set to attach itself to the little pavilion opening on to the garden which had been built out behind it for my parents; and with the house the town, from morning to night and in all weathers, the square where I used to be sent before lunch, the streets along which I used to run errands, the country roads we tookâŚ.â - Marcel Proust, âRemembrance of Things Pastâ
From the hushed opening chord of Henri Dutilleuxâs âAinsi la Nuitâ a musical sense memory is already unfurling itself through time. Dutilleux was fascinated by Proustâs concept of memory and strove to create a similar fluidity in music, employing structures like palindromes, recurring complex harmonies that subtly transform, and âparenthesesâ: a series of short interstitial movements throughout the work that serve (in the composerâs words): âas reservoirs of sound events, in which can be found commentaries of what has gone before, and prefigurations of things still to come.â
In the creative process of devising THUS, THE NIGHT, we and our collaborators were entranced by the musicâs theme of after-image: memories that are created and then ârememberedâ in transformation, fragmentation, and absence. Through use of temperature, scale, environment, weather, light, and repetition, THUS, THE NIGHT responds to Dutilleuxâs notion of sense memory and encourages nonlinear pathways of perception.
The full film drops online tomorrow - donât miss it!

A few more photos from Iceland, taken with an original Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera, refurbished and adapted for 600 Film. I bought this camera about a year ago and I still feel like every shot is an experiment that surprises. I love how moody these shots are and how they capture the atmosphere and the vibe of the environment in a way that a phone camera never could. The glacier shot was particularly hard - this camera has a known tendency to over-expose, so I did the ânormalâ thing of adjusting the light meter toward the dark side, and the images came out a dark blurry mess. On a lark, I tried turning the wheel 100 percent to the light side and it worked, still not exactly sure why!

Returning from the most magical 6 days in Iceland with my love and my parents. This was the third trip there for @cellocollins and me, and it was amazing to share this special place that has meant so much to us with my parents and see it through their eyes. In Iceland, the natural environment is an inseparable part of daily life, and I am coming away thinking bigger, feeling more deeply, and with absolute awe for the giant blue spinning marvel weâre all aboard.

TONIGHT at @carnegiehall â¨â¨â¨
American Renaissance begins with a question and follows it across a musical
landscape shaped by the complexity of the American experience. What
does it mean to be human in a society capable of both extraordinary
idealism and profound injustice? Why are humans capable of profound
selflessness and, at the same time, violence and erasure? How do we
reckon with a history that is both generative and painfulâand how do we
continue striving toward something more just?
American Renaissance includes works by Charles Ives, William Grant Still, Margaret Bonds, Zenobia Powell Perry, Sarah Elizabeth Charles (@secsmiles), Florence Price, and Brad Balliett, with special arrangements by Jeremy Jordan (@jeremyajanijordan ) , Monique Brooks Roberts (@moniquebrob ) and Xiaobao He (@yoshi.x1008 ). Together, these works respond to Ivesâs
question with a clear and resounding âyesââto life, to remembering, to
creativity, to connection, and to the ongoing pursuit of justice.
We hope you will join us tonight at 7:30 in Weill Recital Hall!

CONCERT ALERT FOR PENN STATE- UPARK! GET YOUR TICKETS NOW FOR THIS UNIQUE PROGRAM!
Decoda makes its Penn State debut with special guests Ringdown, the cinematic electro-pop duo featuring composers and vocalists Caroline Shaw and Danni Lee Parpanâan âecstatically blissfulâ (Night After Night) and âirresistibleâ (Feast of Music) pair creating music that floats up from the dusty record bin between Brahms and Brandi Carlisle, and centers around joy, human connection, and trying to inspire people to feel more love.
The program, Reverberations, explores the profound relationship between inspiration and imagination, revealing an interconnected web of musical influence. Two works by Aaron CoplandâMidday Thoughts and the beloved Appalachian Springâshowcase his singular approach to American musical identity, borrowing, distorting, amplifying, and reinventing folk material. Appalachian Spring will feature a special side-by-side collaboration with Penn State School of Music students.
Ringdownâs new work, Every Stone in Cambridge Reminds Me of You, reflects Coplandâs musical lens and his friendship with Leonard Bernstein through a bold contemporary voice, and was written for and will be performed with Decoda. Ringdown will also perform selections from their latest album, The Lady on the Bike. The program further features Hanns Eislerâs kaleidoscopic Septet No. 1, merging Expressionist textures with fragments of American childrenâs songs, and Eisler on the Goâa brooding folk ballad by Woody Guthrie and Billy Bragg, arranged by Decodan Claire Bryant, chronicling Eislerâs exile during Americaâs Red Scare.
Public Performance:
Tuesday, March 31, 2026; 7:30 PM
Presented by the Center for the Performing Arts
Concert Location: School of Music Recital Hall
