We're very excited about the transfer, but also want to make sure that all of our Jackson Heights friends get to see the play while we're here! We've had such amazing experiences researching the piece in Jackson Heights for the past 8 months!

BIG NEWS from BIG LOCAL TALENT
- Sunny Knables- CD Release EVENT

JANUARY 26th -8pm...

"Grimm's Hood" is the forthcoming album "American Variations" on Centaur Records.


This ensemble, for 2 trumpets, piano and percussion, was assigned to me as part of the Iron Composers Competition in 2009, run by ANALOG ARTS. The Finalists were gathered in the morning, told which ensemble they'd be writing for, and to incorporate the "secret ingredient" of Grimm's Little Red RidingHood.


We then were given 5 hours to write a piece of music -- but after 5 hours, I hadn't finished yet, and took a penalty by continuing on for another hour. The piece was completed, practiced, rehearsed and then performed in front of a live audience with a judges panel, broadcasting live on the
radio.

I was lucky enough to be scored high enough so that my penalty didn't matter, and I won! I am now proudly including this track on my CD, which will be released on
