Good morning, Austin.☀️ — #saturday #morning #coffee #necessary #caffeine #tasty #local #practice #fuel #lightreading #book #slowdown #savor #musician #musicianlife #metime #austin #texas

Still reeling after a VERY memorable concert last night with the TMC orchestra performing works by Barry, Adès, Knussen, and Lutoslawski. More reactions below! — Seeing @thomasades and @kgerstein join forces as conductor/pianist on Adès’ own “In Seven Days” was nothing short of captivating. Kirill also played Adès Second Mazurka as an encore. Absolutely ridiculous. — Stefan Asbury lifted his score toward the sky after the end of Knussen’s “Where the Wild Things Are,” and that just magnified how wrong it felt for Olly to not be there. Altogether, it was such a fitting tribute. — Not to mention, Lutoslawski’s Third Symphony is an absolute thrill ride, and I’d love to see it performed more than it is currently. — All in all, I left so energized, recharged, and hopeful after the end of this concert. It was so refreshing to experience these pieces live for the first time, and seeing it all here at Tanglewood made it all the more meaningful. — #tanglewood #music #festival #contemporarymusic #contemporaryart #unique #performance #concert #current #special #artistic #orchestra #wow #artistry #experience #collaboration

Last Saturday, I visited what is probably my new favorite art museum in the United States. The galleries and installations at @massmoca are provocative, current, relevant, important, inspiring, and simply beautiful. Most if not all of the pieces here were created in the past 18 years, so in many ways, I felt so personally connected to this art, and I didn’t even see it all. Their collection of James Turrell light pieces is jaw-dropping. Not to mention, what made this visit all the more fun was running into several wonderful musicians and friends at @bangonacan’s summer institute! Hearing new music reverberate throughout the galleries in the afternoon was super special to experience. This place should be on everyone’s list! — #contemporaryart #museum #inspiring #experience #beautiful #design #diverse #relevant #meaningful #fun #painting #light #relevant #culture #artistic #color #creative #impact #real #current #awesome #unique #canvas #installation #gallery #art #image

Living that #sundayfunday life head-banging to BSO playing Shostakovich 5 and visiting the famed @norman_rockwell_museum. You can’t beat it out here.

Just finished my first day working at the Boston University Tanglewood Institute, and after six years away from the Berkshire Hills, it’s seriously surreal to be back. While I’m flexing my administration muscles more than my playing chops this summer, I don’t think there’s any better place for a musician to “catch some air” than Tanglewood. Looking forward to hanging on the lawn this summer 🤘🏼 . . . . . . . . . . #music #musician #musicianlife #classicalmusic #work #happiness #nature #art #summer #sunshine #grass #trees #hills #memories #evening #image #legacy #history #tradition #views #picturesque #iconic #inspiring #perfect #tanglewood #massachusetts

Impromptu get-togethers with your classmates are awesome! 10/10 would recommend. #fam — I’ve been on vacation in Savannah/Hilton Head this weekend, and I called @catcoleperc at literally the perfect time as she was about to drive through Savannah on her way to North Carolina. Was this planned before today? Absolutely not. Sometimes life is just great. — P.S. we were both missing @cleachmusic a lot, as we always refer to incomplete Eastman fam gatherings as “2/3rds fam” — #friends #surprise #fun #lit #hang #chill #savannah #summer #vacation #food #foodie #reunited #bffs #happiness #grads #freedom #classmates #allsmiles
