Finally performed our first show with Marlboro Slipstream Group at Marlboro College after months of rehearsal. We presented some work by Ned Rothenberg as well as Matan Rubinstein's tone poem Terraplane. Challenging music, with some tricky electronics mixed in. It was a blast to work on and enriching to expand my improvisational palette, stretching the limits of sounds that can be made on a cello. Join us for the inaugural event for Marlboro’s new ensemble in residence, fe

Arun Ramamurthy curated this month of collaborative trios at Brooklyn Raga Massive. This new group is his brainchild and what incredible musicians to work with! This has been one of the more exciting collaborations I've been a part of in years and a real antidote to all the cheesy fusion I've had to do in India. So fresh to approach Indian music as a vehicle for contemporary expression, still giving respect to the tradition. https://www.facebook.com/events/1021326028256414

Once again giving accompaniment for the incomparable Veronica Simas de Souza. This time at Marlboro College with Mike Lukshis providing a brilliant tabla accompaniment. So cool to present Indian music with such sincere practitioners. None of us were brought up in the tradition, but all of us fell in love with it, and have pursued it seriously and with dedication. It's also always special for me personally to bring this art form to the place where I grew up. Performance Jo
