Peter H. Bloom
Peter H. Bloom (CAS’72) of Somerville, Mass., presented a recital-lecture on the illustrious 19th-century flute maker Alfred G. Badger at the Animusic-Portugal Organological Congress in July 2014 in Braga, Portugal. Last fall, he concertized in New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Minnesota, and Nebraska with diverse chamber music and jazz ensembles. Highlights included the premiere of David Owens’ At the Landing and the premiere of his own composition Ablaze for flute, viola, and guitar (published by Noteworthy Sheet Music), as well as concerts with the Aardvark Jazz Orchestra, whose founder and music director is Mark Harvey (STH’71, GRS’83). When he wrote, Peter was planning to serve as a faculty member for the Snow Pond Composers Workshop in Maine in June 2015.
