The bold idea of the SonataPalooza is to combine SonatenAbends (multiple sonata evenings) in a way that is fun and unusual. The title, METTLE, the first of the paloozas, is intentional – to
describe the project’s scope (with fortitude, determination, and resolve) with the homonym wordplay of “metal.”

BENT is dedicated to my entire family and all my teachers – it takes a village, love, and strong roots to grow. The word “bent” conjures images and meanings – of metal, tubing, images of sound waves, refracted light, and in highlighting a humanistic quality, a capacity of endurance, talent, inclination, determination, etc. I’m bent – all around.
