En route to FCM 10

August 18th, 2012

Right now I am riding BART heading towards San Francisco for the 3rd concert of the 10th Annual Festival of Contemporary Music.

So far this has been an amazing concert season. The first two concerts were tremendously successful and tonight’s is shaping up to be just as good! Tonight’s concert will feature three vocal pieces as well as four composer performed works.

It is crazy to think that tonight marks the 17th concert in the Festival’s history. Over this time each year and each concert has gotten better and better.

I am proud of the FCM. When I started it ten years ago I could not imagine it would transform into the event it is today. I want to thank John Bilotta and Davide Verotta for all of their hard work and dedication. The FCM is a success because of them!

In 2012 New Music Forum will be celebrating its 11th year as the Contemporary Classical Music Resource.  The website was created on January 4, 2001 and has been the springboard for various articles, interviews, reviews and the popular Festival of Contemporary Music.

Stay tuned to NMF over the next few weeks as we will reveal what is to come in the new year.  There are some milestones this year that we will celebrate with articles.  In addition the Festival of Contemporary Music will commence its 10th concert season.  The plans for FCM 10 are heating up and announcements about the Festival will be made later this month.

Thank you for being a part of the NMF family and we hope to hear from you throughout the year!
