Hi friends, I have a new album out today! I recorded my 6 Etudes for Solo Cello over 10 years ago with Scott McDowell at the legendary Hyde St. Studios in San Francisco, and Joan Jeanrenaud, of Kronos Quartet fame, helped produce the recordings and mentored me through the process. #cello #etudes

New post at On a Pacific Aisle, with thoughts on "Assassins", Fanny Hensel, Alvin Ailey, and more. pacificaisle.substack.com/p/primary-ki...

This weekend is our string quartet concert and to celebrate you can get my arrangement of two Hensel fugues for string quartet for 50% off with the code TOWNQUARTET That’s just $3.50 per string player.

Come hear the music that @lewispatzner.bsky.social ‘s neighbor so enjoyed! 2 weeks from today in Berkeley: henselpushers.org/k2q

Fanny Hensel composed several Bach-inspired works, but when she was composing, performing Bach didn't have the baggage it has today. So what's the "right" way to perform her neo-Baroque music? I discuss with @lewispatzner.bsky.social

I love cello

Make You Feel My Love by Bob Dylan, very popularly covered by Adele. San Francisco, do you think the Democratic Party needs new leadership? Saikat Chakrabarti will support primaries against officials who have let us down. @saikatforcongress.bsky.social #cello #sanfrancisco #congress #2026elections

Bach: Largo from the 3rd Solo Violin Sonata. To my friends in San Francisco, do you really feel like the Democratic leadership should stay in place? There is a good candidate with a real chance to unseat Pelosi, Saikat Chakrabarti. @saikatforcongress.bsky.social #cello #sf #politics #sanfrancisco

#BetterDems I like "furious cello guys for Saikat" as a strategy. Saikat - keep leaning in until you find the spark that sets the bonfire. Maybe you need all the musical instruments before your noise gets heard? (aka "likes go up, then up-up") Maybe all the different jobs? Keep pushing. I believe!

America, Fuck Yeah, from Team America: World Police. It’s time to elect someone who more accurately reflects San Francisco’s foreign policy values. That person is Saikat Chakrabarti @saikatforcongress.bsky.social #cello #sf #sanfrancisco #america #2026elections

You can't spell progressive without progress and we've made a lot of it since we started this campaign. We’ve climbed more than 12 points in the polls in just a few months — and when voters hear about the campaign, we actually beat Pelosi by 6. And we have nine months until the primary!

Besame Mucho. If you live in San Francisco, you actually have a good choice for Congress; Saikat Chakrabarti. His platform is very aligned with SF values! @saikatforcongress.bsky.social #cello #latinjazz #sanfrancisco #sf #2026elections
