Composer, violinist, and violist Mark Berger, and Ketty Nez joined forces in the spring of 2009 for a series of concerts mixing the new with the established, including their own music and Boston University faculty Richard Cornell's commissioned Scherzo. Upcoming projects in 2009-10 include premieres of Ketty's transit out and commissions by John Aylward and Matthew Malsky; performances and masterclasses at BU, University of Massachusetts Lowell, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, including MIT faculty Peter Child's Sonata; and a residency at Clark University working with student and faculty composers.
