Hello all,

All good things eventually come to an end, and I’ve come to realize it is time to close the book that is This Week’s Music. As mentioned previously, I’ve begun expanding my music criticism into new domains, writing album and concert reviews for various cultural and artistic publications. (You can find my published reviews here: https://www.thomasphilbrick.com/criticism). I’ve also begun a position as the official music critic for the publication VoegelinView, which is a review of art, literature, theology, and political philosophy. Between those new ventures and the demands of work, family, and life, I no longer have the capacity to continue writing weekly TWM posts. With that said, I encourage all of you to follow me at VoegelinView and on my website, where I will continue to write about music and share my own performances and compositions from time to time. And I’d like to thank all of you for joining me for this unexpectedly wonderful journey that began ten years ago in my college dorm room and has since grown to reach several thousand people across 19 countries. It’s been a great ride!

Farewell for now, and keep listening.

With gratitude,

T

P.S. The TWM domain and website will remain live and accessible, so you’ll always be able to visit pieces of music you particularly enjoyed or were interested in.
