**Dale Tsang to premiere Quantum Entanglement, live & online**

I am exceptionally enthused about the upcoming premiere of this new work for piano in which the performer speaks the lines of a poem as the surrounding music seeks to illustrate it - a bit like a song without singing. The poem Quantum Entanglement, by my dear friend and frequent collaborator Keller Cushing Freeman, is a what-might-have-been musing upon a relationship between two long-ago lovers and the mysterious thread of attachment that seems to persist in spite of many years and miles of separation and silence.

The performer will be the wonderful San Fransisco pianist Dr. Dale Tsang, allied with the SF-based new music group Ensemble for These Times (E4TT). Performances will be in Berkeley on Saturday, February 22, 2025, at 7:30 PDT, and in San Francisco on Sunday, March 2, at 2:00 PM PDT - concert details here. Last year, in another performance under the auspices of E4TT, Dale gave a terrific rendering of Fiddlins’, my sonata on Appalachian fiddle tunes. I can’t wait to hear what she does with this piece!

I’ll post YouTube links for free live streaming when they are available.
