Composer/pianist Timothy Andres, whose debut album, Shy and Mighty, was released on Nonesuch in 2010, performed a concert at New York's (Le) Poisson Rouge in May of this year, coincidentally around the album's two-year anniversary. The program featured what Andres described as a "musical 'self-portrait,'" including two of his own pieces—How can I live in your world of ideas?, from Shy and Mighty, and his piece It takes a long time to become a good composer—as well as works by Ted Hearne, Ingram Marshall, Brahms, and Schumann. The Poisson Rouge concert has now been posted to Q2 Music, the online new-music station from New York's Classical 105.9 WQXR, as part of its Q2 Music Live Concerts series.
