Premiere of Rhapsody for flute and chamber orchestra with Claire Gunsbury and the Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic
In the fall of 2023, I wrote a short concertante work for flute, strings and percussion for my friend and colleague Claire Gunsbury to play on the Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic Composers' Concert. Also on the concert are new orchestral works by my composer colleagues Ka Wing Chan, James O'Malley Gorbea, William Geiler, Michael Wong, Liam Flaherty, and Bradley Fletcher. The performance will be held at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh at 8pm EST. The performance will be livestreamed here.
Recent Projects:
March 9th, 2024:
Premiere of Shadyside Loops with NAT 28
I was fortunate enough to be one of the winners of NAT 28's call for scores for their 2024 Pittsburgh Composers' Project, with my Pierrot ensemble piece Shadyside Loops. The premiere was held on March 9th at the Kelly Strayhorn Theater in the East Liberty neighborhood of Pittsburgh.
July 16th, 2023:
Premiere of Flatiron Escapades with the Colorado Music Festival
In 2022, I was commissioned by Peter Oundjian and the Colorado Music Festival to write the opener for a concert entirely consisting of world premieres. The following two works, also commissioned by the CMF include Carter Pann's Dreams I Must Not Speak and Adolphus Hailstork's JFK: The Last Speech. I am beyond humbled to have been commissioned by such a wonderful organization that is very near and dear to me, and especially to serve as the opener for two titanic American composers. Anyone who might be in the Boulder area this summer and wishing to attend can purchase tickets here.
February 16th, 2023:
Premiere of Fabled with the Dad Village Symphony Orchestra
The most recent DVSO project, featuring Ernesto Aguirre's A Dash for the Timber!, my own oceanic tone-poem Pacifica, and the first work I've ever commissioned, Ernesto Aguirre's first symphony: Theseus and the Minotaur. Learn more at www.dvso.org.

Holloway and Walker: Four Sonatas Album
A collaboration with my dear friends, composer/cellist Nelson Walker, oboist Grace Stringfellow, and pianists Er-Hsuan Li and Derek Sharman. Together with the production wizardry of Jonathan Galle and Ian Rippel, we created an album of Nelson and my oboe and cello sonatas. Below is the YouTube video of the entire album, but it can also be found here on Spotify.
