Huge thanks to Heidi Waleson of the @WSJ for making the trip out to Penn State for our premiere of A Marvelous Order, and giving such a thoughtful review, filled with detailed observations:

Tonight is the world premiere of @amarvelousorder! 7:30pm in Penn State's Eisenhower Auditorium. Pictured art by @frankelfrankel.
Working on musical education is a pillar of NOW Ensemble’s mission, so we were glad to hold an event for Penn State music students showcasing our repertoire and working with student ensembles in a masterclass format.
Get excited! @AMarvelousOrder's world premiere is only 13 days away! Get your tickets now: cpa.psu.edu/events/marvelous…

Album release day! BEFORE AND AFTER is an incredible work by Sean Friar, “a rumination on the lifespan of civilizations, on our own small place in the larger rhythm of the world,” in the composer’s words. It’s truly a marvel of chamber music. Get it here: nowensemble.us4.list-manage.…
