So great to work again at my alma mater Interlochen Arts Camp!
This summer I served as rehearsal pianist for the High School Musical Theatre Production. In my spare time there was lots of good food, great concerts, and lots of fun times.
Thanks to Thompson Street Opera Company for a great performance of “Ile” this weekend!
Tune in today at noon to hear Ben Smith, Eric Lindsay, and me on WFIU talk about our upcoming premieres with the New Voices Opera!
On Saturday, March 29, the fabulous Akropolis Quintet will premiere a new composition of mine at Heidelberg University in Tiffin, Ohio.
The composition is entitled Street Beat and was composed as part of the Quintet’s Project Sonata commissioning project.
The quintet’s latest release, Unraveled, is available now on CDBaby, iTunes, Amazon, and Spotify.
Honored to have been a part of the First Readings Project last week in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It was a special treat to hear a new composition for choir beautifully performed in an intimate setting. Thanks to J. David Moore and Studio Z for the opportunity.
Just found out that the Aurea Silva Trio will be on WGTE Radio this morning at 10 AM performing my music! You can listen here.
The Aurea Silva Trio is an innovative chamber ensemble consisting of flute, bassoon and piano. The trio is committed to popularizing the existing pieces for this instrumentation, and are excited to commission collaborative projects with modern composers in their efforts to expand the repertoire for this ensemble.
Hope you’ll tune in with me at 10 AM Eastern!
Last weekend was the premiere of Mountain Suite for String Orchestra by Chamber Orchestra of New York in Carnegie Hall.
Thanks to Salvatore di Vittorio and the Chamber Orchestra of New York for making this happen and to my family and friends who came to support me!
Please enjoy this video of C. by Francis Poulenc from my recent performance on the Greencastle Summer Music Festival with Claire DiVizio!
Honored to have been invited to return to the 2013 John Duffy Composers’ Institute in Norfolk, Virginia! This year we presented an extended excerpt from Ile with members of the Virginia Symphony. Bravo to all who were involved!
Enjoy these videos from my March 7 concert in Buffalo, New York!
