: Welcome to a Bonus Edition of Where is Eric.
The purpose of this brief missive is to tell you where I am *not* playing. Just for example, I am not playing at Lincoln Center – so don’t go looking for me there. I could continue with a list of other famous places where I am not playing, but the joke has already worn out its welcome.
So instead, here are some details on two concerts where you can hear other musicians play music that I have composed. You will also hear music written by some of my partner composers in crime – I have one piece in each concert.
The scheduling gods have dictated that both concerts are happening next week in mid-town Manhattan, one on Tuesday and the other on Friday.
Please note that there is an admission charge for both of these concerts – and to anticipate your next question, sorry I do not have any “comps”. Again, if you come to either of these concerts you will not see me on stage – although you may spot me lurking in the audience.
Here are the details. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get back to me.

This concert features mostly music for string quartets – my piece will be the second (slow) movement of a three movement piece I recently finished up.

And this concert consists of music for a saxophone quartet. Yes, there is such a thing as a saxophone quartet and you will have to come hear it to truly believe it.
