Composing assistant / copyist to Melissa Aldana on her new Jazz Gallery commission project “For Frida”!

Partially due to the successful workshop at the Creative Clinic Velenje in 2018, partially due the reputation, I have just received a call from a master saxophonist, a winner of prestigious Thelonious Monk Saxophone competition Melissa Aldana, who have just received a commission from the Jazz Gallery to an evening worth of new music. She decided to focus on the story of Frida Kahlo both as point of direction and inspiration and have asked me if I could be her copyist and composing assistant, an incredible offer to which I gladly replied: YES! In following three months, we will be working on her new music, and after that we will continue with lessons in counterpoint, composition and also digital notation.
