n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

As I have been preparing the program for this evening, I have come to the realization that each of these works confront a particular type of consciousness for me. Each piece, in addition to the overall length of the program, challenges my ability as a performer to stay engaged with the macroscopic scale of the music and aware of the minutiae of intricacies and detail in each moment. Every time I play through the music I notice something new, a subtle nuance or shading, a previously unnoticed dynamic marking that changes the meaning of a phrase. This kind of attention to detail is easily lost outside of the practice room as I become distracted with technology and life. Staying engaged in the moment is incredibly difficult to do, but the rewards are well worth the effort. Otherwise, we miss the world happening around us. I hope you will join us this Friday for an evening of contemporary saxophone works. I am looking forward to sharing this music with you!
