A couple months ago, our dear violinist, Tommy Atkinson, told us some happy news: he had finally landed a full-time teaching position at a charter school, where he could make use of his music education degree! The flip-side to this news was that the position was located in El Paso, Texas and that he'd be leaving in a couple weeks time, in time for the new school year to start.
While Brad and I were really excited for Tommy, we were sad to lose a gem of a violinist, musician, and friend from the trio--a like-minded individual who would be willing to rehearse, every week, without pay, for the sake of music and self-improvement. We knew we would be hard-pressed to replace Tommy, and in the last few months, this has indeed proven true.
In the meantime, Brad and I have been working on some horn-piano duo repertoire. We are aiming to be able to present them late January sometime! We continue to follow Tommy's happy status updates (in Facebook) from Burnham Wood Charter School; and if there are any violinists who would like to work with an annoyingly blunt and critical pianist and a patient, observant hornist par excellence... the contact button is right there ;)
