I worked with Durward Ensemble in August to create a recording of Rough Ride on an Orange Machine -- a reflection on the 4 year Trump Presidency.  Rick Valentin, a Creative Arts and Technology faculty member, then created a montage to the recording.  This video will be performed live at East Carolina University in February.  More details to follow!  Here is the url to the video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38TU24OoyNE

My large ensemble work Quiltage will finally be premiered by a new Chicago based group Unsupervised at the Ear Taxi Festival in Chicago on October 4th.  This premiere was delayed because of COVID.  So excited to finally hear this work come to life!  Ticket information may be found here:

So glad to announce that I will be the composer in residence with the Illinois Philharmonic during their 2019-2020 season.  What a fantastic group, led superbly by Maestro Stilian Kirov.  I really loved hearing the music of the other finalists Carlos Bandera and Allen Molineaux!  It should be a busy and fun year...
