Nick has transformed his debut album Letters to My Future Self,
released in January 2019 with all original compositions and
improvisations, into a solo show filled with wild textures and layers
you've never heard before. His performance will take us on a musical
journey through the inside of his mind and break preconceived notions of
what a viola can do in a constantly morphing soundscape of genres. His
electroacoustic viola will be augmented by a microphone and speakers, a
powerful audio program, and intricately programmed auto-triggering loops
and live-processing.
Nick is the founding violist of PUBLIQuartet which has been
presented by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the MET Museum, the
National Gallery, Carnegie Hall, Joyce Theater, Dizzy's Coca Cola Club,
and Newport Jazz Festival. Collaborations include Benjamin Millepied,
Björk, Paquito D’Rivera, and Billy Childs. Nick's award-winning 2017
commission In DayDream premiered at Carnegie Hall in 2017. Nick has
conducted improvisation workshops, co-developed the theory curriculum
and chamber music program for the Talent Education Suzuki School, and
co-created the New York String Studio.
