PictureHanjin Yoo, a.k.a. Amadéus Leopold.
I originally wrote this interview for the Houston Chronicle.

Imagine Andy Warhol, or Lady Gaga, and maybe also Liberace. Why? Because that will make it easier to imagine Amadéus Leopold.

Leopold (birth name Hanjin Yoo) is a Korean-born violinist. He’s a protégé of the celebrated violinist and conductor Itzhak Perlman. He’s played at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center in New York, at Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center and at other prestigious venues.

New Music I Like (No. 13): Ellen Taaffe Zwillich

PictureEllen Taafe Zwillich.
I haven’t written one of these “New Music I Like” posts for quite a while. Rest assured, gentle reader, it’s not because I have given up entirely on recently composed music – it’s just that finding the really good stuff can be a needle-in-haystack proposition.

Today, I bring glad tidings of an American composer named Ellen Taaffe Zwillich. She is widely celebrated – the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize – but I’d never heard of her until I saw her name mentioned a little while ago on a weird and sometimes wonderful blog called Classical Music is Boring. (See here.)

Juilliard Quartet in Toronto

I originally wrote this review for the Musical Toronto website (here).

The Juilliard String Quartet played at the Jane Mallet Theatre on Thursday evening (Jan. 8) – bringing with them a chilly program for a chilly January night. The program was part of Music Toronto’s Contemporary Classics series.

The New York-based Juilliards have a well-earned reputation for tackling tough modernist scores. Earlier this year, they completed the cycle of Elliott Carter quartets that they began in the 1990s. They’ve also championed quartets by Milton Babbitt, Stefan Wolpe and Roger Sessions, among others.

    Eatock Daily

    I'm a composer based in Toronto – and this is my classical music blog, Eatock Daily.

    When I first started blogging, Eatock Daily was a place to re-post the articles I wrote for Toronto’s Globe and Mail and National Post newspapers, the Houston Chronicle, the Kansas City Star and other publications.

    But now I have stepped back from professional music journalism, and I'm spending more time composing.

    These days, my blog posts are infrequent, and are mostly concerned with my own music. However, I do still occasionally post comments on musical topics, including works I've discovered, enjoyed, and wish to share with others.
