Premiering on New Year’s Eve was a lovely new video performance of the violin/guitar version of Pañca. The performers are from the Albany-based Musicians of Ma’alwyck: Ann-Marie Barker Schwartz on violin and Sten Isachsen on guitar. The video begins with description of the Arkell Museum in Canajoharie, New York and the provenance of one of its featured paintings, a magnificent full-scale copy of Rembrandt’s Night Watch. The performance begins at 18:15 as Ann-Marie and Sten walk through a hole in the museum wall and take their places in front of Night Watch.
Thank you, Ann-Marie, and Sten, for another compelling performance of my music!
