So excited to announce this new commission!
Above is a screenshot of the official Instagram announcement, which you can also find directly at this link: VIEW TIMOTHY MCALLISTER’S OFFICIAL INSTAGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT
Naturally, I had to go to socials to express my excitement. I posted this everywhere, but I’ve also pasted the text below.
(You can view the post directly on Facebook here: Facebook Announcement — again, this is posted somewhere on pretty much all my socials!)
“As I’m digging into this recent commission, the reality is setting in (plus I haven’t really made an official announcement on my pages yet): I’m composing a piece for Timothy McAllister and Liz Ames!!
Beyond thrilled to be writing an encore-type work for a world-renowned/GRAMMY-winning classical saxophonist (McAllister) and GOAT-tier collaborative pianist (Ames).
Best of all, the work will be featured on the Duo’s PROJECT ENCORES, VOL 2 album (being recorded in August), which includes an all-star lineup of composers I deeply admire such as Wynton Marsalis, Jennifer Higdon, and Cathy Likhuta.
Living the absolute dream. Still pinching myself. It’s gonna be so much fun!
Stay tuned on my socials & newsletter for more updates on the piece (so far, working title: “Vicariously Through You”).
Onward and upward
