I got an e-mail today from one of my past teachers saying how much he enjoyed my final performance project. Since he is himself a composer and talented musician, I was flattered. Then he asked if I wanted to perform it later next year at one of the New Music concerts he puts together. Since this usually involves guest composers and performers who are already established, I was really honored that he asked. It was so unexpected and really gave me a renewed sense of confidence in my musical abilities.
