I always wanted to record some of my songs I composed over the years on solo piano. These times and all the talk about social distancing gave me the idea of doing these recordings now. I wanted to be more prepared then this, but recording one song a day lets me look forward and makes me feel optimistic about life. There will be mostly piano pieces but I also will work with my loop station on the violin. I hope you like to take part on this progress as well.
I will post all the new recordings in this curated youtube playlist, plus you also can find some of my favorite videos we did over the last couple of years.
I hope you all are well and in a safe place. Many things have happened since my last news update. I am happily in New York City with my family, practicing the violin almost like when I was studying music and trying to compose.
It seems like a breather from all the crazy traveling, but it is also unsettling and I feel the future will be very different.
Music, theater, and art are so important during these times and that is why I keep on doing it to keep a balance in my life.
I hope you have time to listen to music you always wanted to hear or read a book or do some drawing instead of watching the news all the time, which can be tempting.
Wish you all this time to reflect and a way to deal with the reset.
I am trying to pull together some small musical postings, so stay tuned on Facebook and Instagram.
Surprisingly, a new CD of Sirius Quartet playing the music of Hillary Tann, arrived in the mail today. Listen to this new music, and find joy and support in all the arts!

Sirius Quartet is celebrating the 10th year of our current lineup with a series of performances in New York City, presenting their past repertoire in chronological order. The first performance is at Club Bonafide on March 13, 2020.
As always, it would be a great pleasure to see you at one of my upcoming performances!
The year 2020 marks the 10th year of the current lineup of Sirius Quartet, which founding member Ron Lawrence named “Our best lineup so far”. The four musicians brought in individual styles of playing, writing and improvisation into the group and created their very own brand of inimitable music —- an extension of progressive chamber music started by the likes of the great Turtle Island Quartet and Kronos Quartet. To celebrate this milestone, Sirius is organizing a series of performances in New York City, presenting their past repertoire in chronological order. This performance in Club Bonafide will be the first performance of this series, repertoire will include Gregor Huebner’s String Quartet No.3 (“New York Suite”), among other signature Sirius Quartet pieces.

Sorry I’ve taken so long to comment on this terrific video! Inspired writing & soulful playing by Gregor Huebner, & singing by Yumarya Grijt. Great seeing my former student, Klaus Müller, & happy to hear he hasn’t forgotten his “guajeo” lessons! Also nice to see my former co-professors @ Boys Harbor, Jerome Goldschmidt & Louie Bauzo! Last but not least, one of my favorite bassists, John “Baby Huey” Benítez! I’m sure he cringes whenever someone mentions his teenage “apodo!” I’m not familiar w. the drummer, but he has avery appropriate given name!
This brand new piece was written for the new music ensemble at the Filum Music School in Germany. They performed it for the first time in Round 1 of the Jugend Musiziert Competition in Germany.
