Dear friends,
I am thrilled to announce that the video of my new piece A Long Weight of Silence, composed for Kansas City Symphony Principal Flute Michael Gordon, will premiere THIS FRIDAY, December 3 at 5 p.m. Central time!

As I’ve written about in previous Letters from the Muse Room, A Long Weight of Silence is a meditation on the pandemic through the lens of the six stages of grief, written for one flute in isolation (i.e. one person playing both parts in a video, as it will be for this premiere) or two flutes together.

Mike gives a fantastic performance, and has made a video that takes the meaning and impact of the piece to a whole new level. I can’t wait to share it with you.

Watch for it at 5 p.m. on Friday on my Facebook page and YouTube!

Peace,
AJ Harbison
