Press

“worked closely with Ben Juodvalkis, the latest in an illustrious line of composers associated with Goode, including Beth Custer, Carla Kihlstedt, and Michael Tilson Thomas.”

“And I also have composer Ben Juodvalkis collaborating with me for the past 15 years.”

“just the three of us together making a piece with nobody else is new and is a very special constellation of personalities.”
