Some Dragons is a seven-movement song cycle written by L.A.-based composer Carolyn Chen.
I began experimenting with singing and playing while in grad school. This led to commissioning Carolyn, a friend and colleague whose work I have always loved, to write a piece for me.
I premiered movements of the work starting in 2018 and presented the whole piece for the first time in November of 2023. Below is documentation from a performance in 2021. Click here for lyrics and notes from the score.
I love this piece! Stay tuned for a document of the work in its entirety.
