CommissionsCommissioning a piece of music is a special occasion in the lives of the organizations that commission them; I do my best to rise to these occasions by creating works that will strongly move both the musicians who perform them and the audiences who hear them.

Residencies, Presentations & School Visits
I enjoy meeting with groups of people and talking about my music! I’ve participated in events of this nature with groups ranging from Kindergarteners to senior citizens, for lengths of time ranging from an hour to several days. Visits can be one-time conversations about writing music or longer residencies to work with an ensemble on specific pieces. Learn more here.
