LIVE PERFORMANCE VIDEOS OF ARRANGEMENTS
Dvorak - "Songs My Mother Taught Me"
A recent arrangement of this beautiful piece as an encore for my teacher, Brinton Smith, after a performance of Dvorak’s Cello Concerto. Accompanied by the wonderful cello section of the Houston Symphony. Based on the violin version popularized by Fritz Kreisler.
Dvorak - Cello Concerto for Six Cellos
This arrangement, performed by Brinton Smith and his studio at the Shepherd School of Music, is the first and only version of the complete Dvorak Cello Concerto in which the solo cello part switches between players. This gives the piece a new feeling of collaboration and allows the performers to better understand the genius orchestration Dvorak writes.
Variations on a Prokofiev Theme
An original composition dedicated to my former teacher Dr. Melissa Kraut at the Cleveland Institute of Music. It contains many references to famous works from the cello repertoire including concertos, etudes, Bach suites, and other humorous ideas.
West Side Story Suite
A suite of themes from Bernstein’s musical “West Side Story” arranged for cello quartet, performed and commissioned from a concert series in Ohio.
