The New England Conservatory premiered Michael Weinstein’s Serenade for Twelve Instruments in December. Michael, chair of The Cambridge School of Weston’s music department, performed with the conservatory’s Wind Ensemble during the premiere.
 
Boosey & Hawkes, the world’s largest specialist classical music publishing company, called this piece "melodic and harmonic." According to Boosey & Hawkes, the music of Dvorak inspired the fast-slow-fast structure of this three-movement work.

Michael has performed his pieces in Europe and Russia as well as the United States. Although Michael has written and worked with many genres of music, he is known predominantly for his success in wind ensemble. In addition to teaching at CSW, Michael teaches at the Berklee College of Music, the Walnut Hill School for the Arts, and the New England Conservatory.
