Peter H. Bloom
Peter H. Bloom (CAS’72) of Somerville, Mass., a flutist, was artist-in-residence for the Snow Pond Composers Workshop in June 2017. The workshop was codirected by Edward Jacobs and Richard Nelson and featured premieres of 10 works by emerging young composers from across the United States. Peter’s concert schedule included shows with his own jazz trio in Boston’s Post Office Square Concert Series; renaissance and baroque programs with Ensemble Chaconne in New York, New Jersey, Georgia, and North Carolina; chamber music with mezzo-soprano D’Anna Fortunato for the Amy Beach sesquicentennial; performances across New England with Ensemble Aubade (flute, viola, piano, and harp); and concerts at the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site and elsewhere with the Aardvark Jazztet, featuring the premiere of SGS (Saint-Gaudens’ Studio) by music directorMark Harvey (STH’71, GRS’83). In September, Mark and his Aardvark Jazz Orchestra (with Peter in the woodwind section) opened the band’s 45th season at the Silver Center for the Arts in Plymouth, N.H.
