Upcoming Show: Phantom Orchid

It’s one month away from the big day, and it’s time to unveil the big news!

What news is that, you ask?

On Friday May 12th at 7:00pm Eastern Standard Time is the world premiere of my first full-length work, Phantom Orchid.

Phantom Orchid is a concept album which combines contemporary classical music and jazz to tell a story about the pursuit of happiness and the dangers that can arise along the way. It takes its name from the phantom orchid, an elusive plant that can be found growing on the dark floor of dense forests in the Pacific Northwest. This orchid is becoming increasingly hard to find as its natural habitat becomes more rare.


This concert partially fulfills the requirements for the Master of Music degree at New York University. It is free and open to the public. There will be a reception after the show.  Scroll to the bottom of this post to see the flyer.

Phantom Orchid is:

Patricia Cardona, flute and electronics
Gabe Terracciano, violin
Ammon Swinbank, flute and composition
Nial Radhitia Djuliarso, piano
Jonathan Scott Gardner, bass
Paul Shaw, drums
Blair Perry, clarinet

New Recording!

Hi all!  I just posted a recording of my most recent performance.  On February 21, I had the honor of performing Dary John Mizelle’s Silverwind for solo flute.  Published in 1990, this solo flute piece has two movements: ‘bagatelle’ and ‘dance.’  The bagatelle is short and sweet, a sort of daydream that recalls a jazz improvisation.  The dance, in contrast, is a non-stop tour de force executed in strange meters that make one think of a dancing centipede.  I worked extra hard on this piece, and loved performing it in Loewe Theatre at NYU Steinhardt.  I have included the soundcloud link below.  Enjoy!
