HEAR NOW Music Festival

@jmgerraughty One of the best things about our festival is that you can wear whatever you want. So excited to host your work this year. Dig into your closet for something you really love and bring a friend! See you soon!

Worried that wearing a suit will be too stuffy for @hearnowLA, but I’m decades past my “denim + sport coat” years. What do Serious Composers™️ even wear to premieres anymore?! I bet ties are probably passé, but I bet I can skirt the issue entirely with a Capri collar 🤔

A Leadership Lesson for your Monday: Build a company culture that encourages communication with your team. If you’re not listening to your employees, you don’t know what’s going on in your business. #MondayMotivation

We have enjoyed engaging with many of you here on Twitter, but HEAR NOW will be continuing our social media conversations only Facebook and Instagram going forward. Please do look for us there. We'll be looking for you! #seeyousoon

@PikaSneaky @SeanMombo Sneaking suspicion that Fight Club is your favorite movie...

@SeanMombo ... Yes you heat the lye in water, cool it, mix it with the fat, letting the triglycerides bond to the base creating a soap. Hence saponification.

wait why DOES everyone have this schizo ass soap in NY? what’s going on here

@HelenaDix Flute!

If you could stage any opera with these costumes- Which opera would it be!? 🤣🤣🤣

@VoiceTeacherNYC @HelenaDix Nope. Three Ladies...

@HelenaDix This is obviously the Little Shop of Horrors trio

We know where you should be at 5:00 p.m. today! Don't miss our festival finale, with a little reception afterwards. Take a look at what you'll hear...

...and here are the other four! (Shown here in no particular order, btw.)

1 hour! That's how long you have to get yourself to this concert. Grab a ticket if you can (our last two events sold out!) and hear eight phenomenal pieces, including multiple premieres. Here's a peek at four of them: #hearnow23

@playinglesshurt That piano would not sound good, but do we care? 😄

Hope your #Sunday is sweet and full of #music #piano #chocolate

@VeraIvanovaComp Looking forward to hearing this performance, Vera!

My ’Still Images' for large ensemble will be opening the last concert of the @hearnowLA 2023 on Sun 4/16 with terrific program, ft. the music of Joan Huang, Carolyn Chen, Peter Knell, the late Bill Kraft and Arash Majd. I hope you can be there! Tickets: hearnowmusicfestival.com/tickets.

The festival is coming up soon... join us for the World Premiere of Pin Hsin Lin's 'Cross the Line of Death' for piano, violin and cello, on Sat 4/15. Get tickets at hearnowmusicfestival.com/tickets

@NickWritesMusic We're stoked, too! (Can't wait to hear it...)

Whatever you're doing this beautiful spring day, have a bright and colorful week. (We'll see you soon!)

Breaking news from the composer: JP has just received a 2023 Guggenheim Fellowship, and we're just thrilled for him. Congratulations!

Happy Passover! On such a meaningful day, this piece stands out in our upcoming festival. Named for a Hebrew word with multiple meanings (and it's that what music is all about?), the West Coast premiere of 'Towdah' will make you think. hearnowmusicfestival.com/tickets
