NEWS and EVENTS
I'm so excited to be joining my wonderful colleagues at Interlochen Online for the Winter 2021 Session (January 11, 2021 to February 6, 2021). Registration closes January 4, 2021. (Discounts available until December 20, 2020 for most programs.)
If you know any middle or high school students interested in exploring music composition, let me know! The course I'm teaching is intended for students (Grades 6–12) who demonstrate an aptitude for, and show interested in, creating music! |
I'm looking forward to participating in a virtual event at the Fredonia School of Music, featuring creative compositions from my #ADJCC colleagues Rob Deemer and Jamie Leigh Sampson, with performances given by Sarah Hamilton, David Rose, Jamie Leigh Sampson, Nick Weiser, members of the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble, and yours truly.

I am excited to announce that my dear friend and IAC colleague Andrea Priester Houde will be discussing and performing My Garden...My World on West Virginia Public Broadcasting during a live recital on 10/29/2020 at 13:00 ET.
It has been a while since music of mine has been played on the radio...let alone broadcast to an entire state! Tune in for a very special performance of this highly contemplative, personal work for solo viola. https://www.wvpublic.org/listen-live |
I'm so thankful to be hearing My Garden...My World (written for my dear friend Andrea Priester Houde) performed on my "home stage" (i.e., Rosch Recital Hall at Fredonia School of Music) by my Fredonia friend and colleague David Rose...during a pandemic no less! I'm honored to join David Finko, Rob Deemer, Paul Coleman, and Ann Rose on this lovely (socially-distanced) Faculty Recital.
