Our intern can experience every part of TCP’s organization, from visiting recording sessions to writing grants and everything in between. Not entirely related to my experience with TCP, but I did find myself sneezing an abnormal amount while in Chicago. This is definitely one of my favorite videos ever. But, everything was okay because TCP was leaving for Notre Dame the following day and would have needed the marimba packed any way. We realized we had one too many marimbas on the truck the next day… whoops. We saw a marimba in the middle of the room and just assumed that it needed to be packed up, without really thinking about it. Thomas and I were packing up instruments for a recording session the next day with Augusta Read Thomas & TCP at the Symphony Center. Well I took a cartoon character personality test and got Fred Flintstone…? Yabba-Dabba-Do! That moment was quite fulfilling to say the least.
After we finished building the stand, we hung the bell and got to hit it. I wouldn’t say I left a legacy or mark on the organization per se, but I did create a fairly fleshed out database of percussion quartets by underrepresented composers that will hopefully be helpful in the future for both TCP (and myself).Ĭolin (studio manager), Thomas (another TCP intern), and I were tasked to build a stand for a giant bell (~300lbs) from Burma. Oh yeah and the L&M Duo concert was interrupted by ~500 naked bicyclists riding through downtown which was quite amusing.
Also watched season 4 of Black Mirror on Netflix which really messed me up. I went to Andy’s Jazz Club and Kingston Mines, went to a Cubs game at Wrigley, saw an outdoor concert downtown featuring the L&M Duo with live dance and painting (and incidentally met Marc Mellits there as well), went to a ~Nois concert at Constellation, and ate too much food. Also, I learned some pretty cool extended techniques using electronic toothbrushes. They were all very organized and efficient at what they do. But, the biggest takeaway was seeing how the group manages the artistic side of their work (rehearsing, performing, working with composers, etc.) with their administrative duties (development, budgeting, planning, booking, etc.). While at TCP, I learned about many different things that are encompassed in the field of arts administration and it’s hard to describe this all in a concise manner here. The Arts Leadership Program at Eastman helped me connect with Sean. I heard about the internship through Andrew Bockman and Noel Holloway who were interns the previous year. You can read more about what I’m up to at my website: Ĭurrently entering the second and final year of my MM degree in percussion at Eastman! Omar Carmenates and some other cool cats.

Here’s a link to a performance video on my YouTube channel and here’s a link to an album full of percussion arrangements of John Psathas music that I took part in while at Furman University with my professor Dr. I’m an avid fan of napping and waking up very confused, eating so much that it hurts, and Spikeball, but probably not in that order.
