The Music of Elliott Goldkind

via Esa-Pekka Salonen: L.A. has been in good hands – Los Angeles Times.

Excellent piece on Esa-Pekka in today’s LA Times.

I’ve started recopying and uploading to the Sibelius site. I really am loving this program and the site is a great way to find and download scores.  A few up now, but and more coming soon.

The film’s been doing great, and we have another screening coming up.  This one is at the Newport Beach Film Festival, Saturday, April 25th, 3:15pm.  Come on out!

Click above on “SCORES” for new scores (in pdf format), including the complete score to my First Symphony (3 Movements for Orchestra).

I’ve uploaded the score to my composition, “Dead Man’s Money” for trumpet and trombone. It’s in pdf format on the “SCORES” page. Check it out, print it, perform it …

I know this blog is supposed to be about matters besides Infinite Space, but blogging about my gradual re-entry of old scores into Sibelius wouldn’t be all that interesting, right?

So at least I have this good news to post. Infinite Space has been accepted to more festivals! In addition to its Palm Springs premiere, and the Glasgow festival sometime in March, we have the following (exact dates/times to be announced):

San Luis Obispo, CA
March 5 – 15

FIFA, Montreal, Canada

Betty Freeman dies at 87; art philanthropist and photographer – Los Angeles Times.

“Composers,” she said some years ago, “are the most important people, infinitely more important to me than any politician. What matters are the seeds you plant for the future.”

Truly an amazing, generous benefactor, unfortunately is no longer with us.  (But the fruits of her generosity live on…)
