I Would Be Where I Am Not

Richard Drehoff Jr. (b. 1991) is a doctoral student at the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University studying composition and music theory. His compositional and research interests explore listeners' perceptions of gesture across time and examine sonic constructions of intimacy and vulnerability within the composer-performer-listener framework.

Richard is the Co-Director of earspace, an ensemble championing the presentation of immersive multimedia performances of diverse works by contemporary composers. His works have been commissioned by the Library of Congress and the New Mexico Contemporary Ensemble and have been performed by groups such as the Mivos Quartet, the ECCE Ensemble, and members of Talea Ensemble. Recent accolades include a residency at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts, a composition fellowship from the James Tenney Memorial Symposium, and conference presentations at the Music Theory Society of the Mid-Atlantic on works by Galina Ustvolskaya and Pierre Boulez.

Garrett Sholdice (b. 1983) is an Irish composer based in Dublin. His music has been described as possessing an “exquisite delicacy” (The Irish Times). His work has been recorded by Ficino Ensemble, pianist Michael McHale, Maya Homburger & Barry Guy duo, Ergodos Musicians, vocalist Michelle O’Rourke, and Trio Scordatura, amongst others. Notable commissions include works for the Irish Chamber Orchestra, basset clarinetist Jonathan Sage and the Keats Quartet, Crash Ensemble, and cellist Kate Ellis and pianist Isabelle O’Connell. Sholdice is a co-director of Ergodos, a Dublin-based record label and audio production company co- founded with composer Benedict Schlepper-Connolly in 2006. He has lectured in composition, orchestration, and score analysis at several Irish third level institutions, and at summer courses in Ireland and abroad.
