My first work for saxophone ensemble (!) will be premiered at the North American Saxophone Biennial Conference in Cincinnati this March in Cincinnati.  The family might have to make a road trip to get some Grady's ice cream!

The wonderful Tuyen Tonnu and Xiaorui Chu will be playing my work Gemini for two pianos in mainland China in 2018. Also will be performing it at the RedNote New Music Festival in March, 2018.  The work is comprised solely of intertwining 5th cycles.  They are working hard to make this piece of music come alive!

Very excited that our fabulous new wind ensemble director Tony Marinello will premiere Who Has Seen the Wind? for large wind ensemble at Illinois State University's RedNote New Music Festival on March 26th.  I wrote this work while in Helsinki and have been dreaming of hearing it ever since.  Details to follow!

My work for Straussian Landscapes for wind ensemble, which was premiered by Symphony Number One after winning their Call for Scores competition, was released by their SNO label on November 3, 2017.  For more information, visit:  ​https://symphonynumber.one/approaching

After a great premiere of my new work Tidal Rhythms in Illinois and a subsequent performance at the University of Louisville, I am thrilled to announce that Tidal Rhythms will be played in Paraguay and Brazil in June/July 2018.  The work may be found via the link under the listen tab. 

Thank you to the Chicago Composers Orchestra for a great premiere of my work Cloud Gate on April 22, 2017.  I have posted the audio on my Sound cloud account and here on this website.  Enjoy!
