Music Now Festival, ICO Performance, Rapido Finals

I’m very thankful to have some musical things to look forward to during this unusually difficult time:

• I am honored to be a finalist in the 2020 Rapido! Competition, sponsored by the Atlanta Symphony and Atlanta Chamber Players. My piece “Notes from Inside” will be performed live in January by the ACP with a limited in-person audience and with live streaming. More information here.

• Pathways will be performed by the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra as a part of the ISU Contemporary Music Festival in 2021 (postponed due to COVID). It was selected as the winner of the ISU CMF Orchestral Composition Competition.

• Taxonomies of Pulse was selected as a winner of the Music Now Contest, also a part of the ISU CMF, and will be streamed as a part of a virtual festival on October 30th. The complete announcement of pieces can be found here.

In the spirit of anticipation, I’m also thrilled to be presently working on two commissions: a large-scale solo piano work written for pianist Peter Gach, and a new work for choir and chamber ensemble, commissioned by Lutheran Summer Music to celebrate its 40th season.
