#tbt to my favorite lick in a little diddy called “Mirage.” Lots of coffee fueled practicing got these notes up to speed! Looking back, learning this piece taught me so much about selling a performance and learning to love music that I didn’t really appreciate on the first listen. I’m so glad I did it, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it again soon! . . . . . #music #musician #percussion #percussionist #marimba #live #performance #concert #seriousmusiccanbeseriousfun #learning #teaching #memories #lessons #achievement #growth #dedication #musicschool #gradschool #classics

POST-GAMEDAY VIBES 🤘🏼 — I grew up on college football, but when it came time to go to college, I didn’t go to a school with a football team. Six years and two degrees later, I’m doing my doctorate at a school where football is king. Safe to say there’s an insatiable football fan inside of me that has six years of trash talking to catch up on! #hookem #texasfight #sportsball . . . . . . . . . . . #football #america #orange #bevo #austin #fandom #college #gradschool #musician #sports #gameday
It’s been just over a week since I arrived in Austin, and I’m already pumped about how at-home I feel in this town. Is it hot as heck out here? My goodness, yes. However, the sun is out, the people are weird and fantastic, and I’m spending most of my time right in the middle of it all here at @utaustintx. Time to get to work on becoming “Doctor J.” — #new #move #musician #musicianlife #DrJ #austin #texas #sun #summer #school #stillgoing #grind #killit #fun #artist #performer #percussion #percussionist #citylife #hookem #longhorns #40acres

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
