So grateful for Timothy Diovanni's wonderful revie

So grateful for Timothy Diovanni's wonderful review in @dallasnews of my "Swallowing Fire," as performed by the amazing @voicesdallas
"Newest of the pieces was American composer Peter Askim’s Swallowing Fire (2020-21), for clarinet, violin, cello and piano. Co-commissioned by Voices of Change, it unfolds in three movements over about 20 minutes.
The first movement, “Holding Breath,” contains piquant dissonances and darkly anxious energies. Also called “Swallowing Fire,” the second movement features jagged rhythms, flurries of notes and high searing clarinet lines, delivered with poetry by Stephen Ahearn. The slow third movement, “Exhale,” evokes elegiac reflection with poignant melodies and warm, smooth textures. Well-paced and dramatically taut, Swallowing Fire makes this listener want to hear more music by Askim.
Along with Ahearn, violinist and Voices’ artistic director Maria Schleuning, cellist Jolyon Pegis and pianist Evan Mitchell gave a spirited reading, skillfully dispatching technical challenges."
