Fellowship Leave 2026-2027
|
|
In this season of gratitude, I’m delighted to share that I’ve been awarded a 2026–2027 Fellowship Leave from Queensborough CC at the City University of New York (CUNY).
I’m deeply thankful to my students and colleagues for this milestone and excited for what the year ahead will bring. My final solo show before the leave took place at the Queensborough Performing Arts Center (QPAC), where I had the joy of performing with some
of my favorite New York musicians. Now I’m embarking on a long‑dreamed‑of large‑scale project (TBA!), while remaining open to collaborations, lectures, curatorial work, and cultural exchanges. So keep your studio windows open — I just might fly by!

It is my great pleasure to announce four upcoming concerts featuring the dynamic Bosnian-Herzegovinian
pianist Bartolomej Stanković. He will perform my THE PERIOD OF FORGETTING (Period Zaborava) for piano solo and magnetic tape, within a program dedicated to the late composer Josip Magdić. Joining the program are esteemed colleagues — and, like myself,
some of Magdić’s former students — Mladen Miličević, Frano Djurović, Ališer Sijarić, and Valentina Dutina. If you are in the region, I warmly invite you to attend and share in this celebration of music and memory.

This piece, near and dear to my heart, was created in collaboration with poet Tim Norris of Northeastern
University. Originally conceived as an installation, it was commissioned by The Revolving Museum in Boston, Massachusetts. After numerous performances and inclusion on my album EVOLUTION (2014), the work has now been reimagined as a lyric video by
mixupnyc,
and brought to life with the poetic, visceral imagery of video artist Igor Molochevsky. I invite you to experience OVER WATER, OVER STONE.
