RUSSIAN MASTERS 2 -
PROKOFIEV'S VISIONS FUGITIVE
This a remount of one of our favorite concerts, 10 years later nearly to the day. Graham and Peter first over bonded early 20th Russian composers, from Prokofiev to Stravinsky to Shostakovich. Prokofiev's Visions Fugitives are a set of miniatures that run through the composer's early ideas and styles, covering an incredible range from driving rhythms to breathtaking harmonic shifts to surprisingly catchy melodies. They sound as fresh as ever 100 years later and easily open up to interpretation. Dr. Jeff Helmer will kick off the night on piano by playing through the entire original set, then an ensemble of seven fantastic players rock out on Graham and Peter's arrangements.

COMING: STRING QUARTET SMACK DOWN!
A composition contest with a competitive twist. This contest is modeled after a 16 bracket sports tourney in which 16 compositions for string quartet will be chosen and presented to the audience two at a time for a single elimination competition. In the round 1 eight pairs of string quartets will have only their first minute performed and the audience will vote on which goes on to the next round. In round 2 the surviving 4 pairs of quartets will have their first two minutes performed and audience will vote. Round 3 will have the final 2 pairs first 3 minutes performed and voted upon and in round 4 the last two surviving quartets will have be performed in their entirety and voted upon. The audience will vote via mobile device and the results will be tallied on the Alamo Drafthouse movie screen. The composers will remain anonymous until eliminated. The quartets will be recorded in their entirety at a dress rehearsal and composers will receive a digital copy of this recording.
PERCUSSION VII SELLS OUT!
What a great night! Thanks to Owen, Tom and Chuck, all the composers, and the fantastic audience. Robert Faires wrote a great review in The Chronicle.
STEINWAY TO HELL SELLS OUT!
Thanks to the huge and excited audience, we had a fantastic time dueling it out.
SYMPHONY VI A ROUSING SUCCESS!
GHP's "Symphony VI" was a massive success! Both shows were sold out and the artistic quality was top notch. The Austin Critics Table named it Best Symphonic Performance of the year, besting both the Austin Symphony Orchestra and the UT Symphony Orchestra.
