      <image:caption>Saturday night 3/30/19 I make my Carnegie Hall main stage debut in Jason and Alicia Moran’s “Two Wings”. It’s pretty powerful to see your name on the display. I’ve been working so hard on my solo arrangement to represent the classical guitar well. Fingers crossed that I break ALL the legs and lift up an overlooked composer! #classicalguitar #carnegiehall #practice #music #nyc #concert https://www.instagram.com/flippinguitar/p/Bvl-QRggJL7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&amp;igshid=1ualy1uo8xj5f</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Sixth Fret - Album Praise</image:title>
      <image:caption>It’s been 1 month since Duo Noire released our album Night Triptych, featuring 6 incredible new classical guitar duets by brilliant women composers from around the world: Clarice Assad, Courtney Bryan, Golfam Khayam, Mary Kouyoumdjian, Gity Razaz, and Gabriella Smith. We are honored to have worked with them and to have received such amazing reviews, including this newest one from Stereophile. We hope the guitar world enjoys and embraces this music of our time. *** “There’s a goldmine of ideas here, whose riches will unveil themselves more and more over time.” -Stereophile *** “Flippin and Mallett [are] virtuosos who invest their performances with energy and conviction. To claim that the two break new ground in the world of classical guitar music on the hour-long release isn’t overselling it.” -Textura.org *** “All contemporary programs of guitar music are not common, and this may be the first to feature exclusively female composers…A truly pathbreaking recording that is greatly satisfying in its own right.” -AllMusic #newfocusrecordings #gabriellasmith #classicalmusic #classicalguitar #classicalguitarist #classicalguitarasia #strings #music #newmusic #composer #guitar #guitarduo #albumcover #albumart #acousticguitar #guitarstagram #womeninmusic #womencomposers #classicalmusician</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My knee gave out. My second ascent of Mt Whitney -the tallest mountain in the contiguous USA (14,505 ft)- and my frickin’ knee gave out a quarter of the way in. I limped up the mountain with hiking poles and accepted a knee brace from some kind strangers who wanted me to make it to the summit. It was an emotional day and I’m still recovering physically but…WORTH IT. #grit #mtwhitney #sierras #hiking #mountains (at Mt. Whitney)</image:caption>

It was about Michelle Obama’s impact on multiple writers and the panel featured essayists Veronica Chambers, Benilde Little, Alicia Hall Moran, &amp; Damon Young and was broadcast nationally on CSPAN’s Book TV. It was an honor to be among such great company. </image:caption>

      <image:caption>As a performer, you are a curator of culture. You choose which composers get lifted up, and whether or not they should all be men. It is an awesome responsibility. Recently, a lot of brilliant people have trusted me to convey their most personal and sincere musical thoughts. And so, to kick things off, Duo Noire is headed to St. Louis to premiere new works written for us by the truly inspiring composer/performers Clarice Assad and Dr. Courtney Bryan. We’ve been working SO hard because they’ve written the music we’ve always wanted to play. I hope the wider guitar world will embrace it. Amen. HERE WE GO! #courtneybryan #clariceassad #stl #classicalguitar #duonoire</image:caption>

      <image:caption>So what good is a blog that only has one post? No good, that’s what. This is a photo from a recital I gave at the Windsor Art Center this month. I’ve really grown to love this venue. The folks running it are some of the nicest and coolest presenters I’ve worked with (has pizza ever been more delicious?), and the audience was really laid back and friendly. And I don’t know if they did something to the room, but my guitar sounded way better than I remembered it sounding the last time. A pleasant surprise… The concert was the first time I performed some arrangements I recently made of piano music by the composer Federico Mompou, whom I love. It was great to see my efforts pay off and realize that, yes, they DO work on the guitar. Phew. The administration was also kind enough to record some fantastic video of the concert for me as well, which I hope to be putting up over the next few months. Stay tuned. Something that particularly stood out for me was the young gentleman (~18) that came up to me afterwards with sheer excitement jubilation about my performance of my composition Neverland. I wasn’t particularly elated with the performance of that piece, but I’m glad it came off so well and that this man left so “inspired” about music, my art, and the guitar. I must be doing something right…</image:caption>

      <image:caption>New blog, new academic year, new recording! After years of simmering on the ideas, refining the compositions, creating the arrangements, and researching virtually unknown repertoire, I have finally begun recording my first full CD for release hopefully in 2011. I had my first session at the fabulous Oktaven Audio studio this month and am ecstatic about finally being able to offer some professional recordings of my work to the audiences I play for. Better late than never! More on this later…</image:caption>
