4/30, 5/3, 5/4: Fifth House Ensemble plays "Illuminated by the Light of Two Ships Passing in the Night"

It's the first performance of my music in the Midwest!

Chicago's Fifth House Ensemble awarded me the grand prize for their 2010 Young Composer's Competition and has incorporated my trio Illuminated by the Light of Two Ships Passing in the Night into their multi-media theatrical production "The Weaver's Tales: of debt and the maidens."

A unique twist on Grimm's Fairytales, "The Weaver's Tales" is a multi-media theatrical adventure that seamlessly weaves together three story lines by combining fair tales, physical theater, dance, high fashion and music in a work that will captivate audiences with a full-sensory experience.

Sneak Peek! – Fifth House Ensemble

Check out the Fifth House Ensemble's sneak-peak video from rehearsal of "The Weaver's Tale." The music in the video is a Brahms number, but there's some Caplan later in the show.

Apr. 15: Chinese Symphonic Masterpieces premieres "Journey to the West"

If you're a fan of my music, don't miss this concert!

The program includes the world premiere of Journey to the West - my biggest work in 5 years - a double concerto for 50-piece orchestra with Erhu (Chinese violin) and Flute soloists.

Inspired by the eponymous novel (Wu Cheng'en), Journey to the West relates an epic tale of heroic adventure and personal growth through four cinematic movements: "Monkey's Mischief," "Mountain of the Five Elements," "Journey to the West," and "Illumination."
