@grecchinois Mozart Fun Fact: Did you know that Mozart’s Mass in c minor is actually incomplete? It’s missing everything in the Credo after the stunningly beautiful soprano aria, “Et incarnatus est” (one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed, IMHO), as well as the entire Agnus Dei portion of the mass. Still, musicians (including me!) and audiences have continued to be drawn to the piece for centuries, because of its profundity and beauty. What Mozart wrote is so beautifully composed, you almost don’t even notice that parts of the mass text are missing...It leaves one to wonder what else he would have written, had he decided to finish it! • 📸: Autograph of the first page of the Kyrie movement • #Nyptakeover #NyPhil (at New York Philharmonic) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8M1YylhW8g/?igshid=1l78c6tthww6b

A #WayBackWednesday shot of me making my debut with the @Nyphilharmonic back in 2012 in performances of Carmina Burana with the late Maestro Frühbeck de Burgos. Those performances were such fun, and a total dream-come-true moment, but I’m very relieved that I don’t have to sing all those High D’s in the Roasting Swan’s aria this weekend... #nyptakeover #nyphil #nyc (at New York Philharmonic) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Msfj9hJVe/?igshid=wd634hskgkn

When I’m in New York, I often take a jog to the Brooklyn waterfront to find inspiration in the water, the history and the view. I spent a lot of time in this very spot thinking about my recent piece for @nyphilharmonic and I’m sure there is plenty more to find here in the future as well. #nyphilharmonic #nyptakeover #nyphil #brooklynwaterfront #composer #inspiration #nyc (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9C_AINBKNE/?igshid=yv0mk38erj7e

Statue of Nydia, the Blind Flower Girl of Pompeii by Randolph Rogers as she leans in to listen to the piano. For me this also represents listening to the Voices of Project 19. #nyphil #nyphilharmonic #nyptakeover #themet #statueesque #project19 #nyc (at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8hbEnBBfee/?igshid=brb4wkj7jgna

One of these things is not like the other. (Hat tip to Orin O’Brien for this bass rack idea. 💡) — @michaelthurber #nyphilharmonic #nyphil #orchestra #bassrack #allaboutthatbass #nyptakeover (at New York Philharmonic) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4niug9hxxb/?igshid=1xveyo8g6vthb
