One of the most asked questions I get from students and audience members is “how many pieces do you play/conduct in a year.” Well, we paid a conducting doctoral student $.50/hour to alphabetize my concert archive for this year now that I’m done– here is the list.

Since the 2007 list spans parts two seasons it’s not surprising that the list is a little unbalanced. Not surprisingly, Mahler and Beethoven seem to be the most featured. I was  sad to see no orchestral music of Debussy, and fewer new pieces than in most years, but 2008 has quite a bit of new music already planned. Pieces I’ve played as a cellist rather than conducted are marked with a VC after the title. 2007 had the least chamber music for me of any year in my life- that’s a terrible trend. Quite a few pieces got done two or three times. I haven’t differentiated here the few pieces that I workshopped or rehearsed without performing or that I taught.

So, for those with way too much time on their hands, the 2007 KW Repertoire Report.
