Projects

Here are some of Erick’s current projects:

Commission for Northern Dutchess Symphony

I recently had the honor and pleasure to write two arrangements of George Gershwin tunes for the Northern Dutchess Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Kathleen Beckmann. We performed the pieces on the orchestra’s annual pops concert on June 14, 2014 in Rhinebeck, NY. The concert was an all-Gershwin program, and I had the additional pleasure of performing as the soloist on the gorgeous arrangement of Someone To Watch Over Me by the great Calvin Custer. Many thanks to Kathleen Beckmann and the members of the NDSO, and thanks as well to my fellow soloist on the program, pianist Peter Muir. I hope you enjoy the recordings!
