Recital Success!

Thanks to everyone who came out for my recital on the 19th! We had a pretty good crowd and my performers did an amazing job. I hope everyone had a great time.

I'm still working to get the recordings from the recital together, so watch this space soon for some new sounds!

I have a new website!

I just launched a new site a few days ago, and am in the process of setting up shop here:

http://kaltwassermusic.com/

I still plan to use this blog site to share updates and poems, but my music activities will be promoted more through the new pages, where I have information on upcoming events, my bio, my music samples, and soon a page where you can actually buy something from me!
