I've had the incredible honor of reviewing @borealisfest for @nytimes. So much gratitude to wonderful editor @SaltzSaltz for being up for this and helping me parse my thoughts, and to photographer David Torch, who flew over to make this story beautiful

Just published a story that’s been months in the making. In May, Rice’s famed horn professor abruptly retired amid sexual misconduct allegations. But dozens of former students say the school has “known for 30 years” — and for decades, did nothing.

For the excellent Danish mag @seismograf, critic @andreomichaelo and I digested approx 4 zillion weird shows + records we experienced across Scandinavia, Italy, Switz, and NYC. Consider it your 2025 to-do list

Yesterday was heavily distinguished by the release of Øyvind Torvund's "A Walk into the Future" ft. Oslo Phil/Olari Elts (Aurora). Lucky me got to write the liner note aka words to the wise ones who give this a spin!!! soundcloud.com/oslo-philharm…

For @vanmusicmag, I profiled the composer Øyvind Torvund, whose inimitable musical fantasies have been a lodestar for what’s now a chunk of my life. Thanks to @FulbrightPrgrm, I got to move to Norway for a year to follow him around
