Happy Holidays!
What a Year It Has Been! I accomplished a lot in 2019. Here’s a rundown:
5 CDs
2 LPs
7 new compositions, including 2 orchestral commissions
100+ concerts including performances in Istambul, Detroit, Alaska, Ohio, Washington DC Jazz Festival, Berlin and so many more
Successful Progressive Chamber Music Festivals in New York City and Munich, Germany
A fantastic teaching season in Munich
Since Berta Epple was awarded the state prize Kleinkunstpreis Baden Württemberg, we have a nice run coming up in the spring of 2020 with our program Berta Epple die Rente ist sicher. It would be great to see you there.
In other exciting news, LaJuana reopened The Spaaaht in New York City. It was a long wait, but she’s thrilled to be back and business is thriving. Her Spa Services make great gifts for the holidays!
I want to wish you all a wonderful time during the holidays and an absolutely fabulous New Year.
The festival features a diverse array of absolutely killer artists who blur genre-lines and embrace cross-pollination as an absolute essential ingredient in the creation of forward-thinking music and art.
Sirius Quartet performs on the 1st night with Gerd Baumann’s band Parade and on the 2nd night with the fantastic harpist Evelyn Huber. Then we will continue to tour with her throughout November.
Also, on the first day of the festival, the PentAnemos Bläserquintett is premiering my piece “Independence in Unity.”
It would be great to see you at one of our concerts.
Regards,
Gregor

Mit der CD “Innenwelt” findet ein außergewöhnliches Projekt seinen Abschluss: Marlis Petersens Dimensionen-Trilogie. Sie entführt uns nun in die Innenwelt, aus dem Hier und Jetzt in das geheimnisvolle Reich der Visionen und Träume, in das Unterbewusstsein der Seele, in die Nacht, wo Gedanken, Wünsche und Gefühle entstehen.
Watch the video, from her new album, Innenwelt (Innerworld). Featuring my arrangement of Richard Strauss’ “At bedtime.”
