Mostly Modern Festival Residency

Had a fantastic time at the Mostly Modern Festival as their resident composer! Worked with the composition fellows, gave a presentation on my music, and had a gorgeous performance of my piece Reviravoltas Sonoras by members of the American Modern Ensemble: Michael Jorgensen (violin), Matt Ward (vibraphone), and Dave Eggar (cello). It was also a wonderful experience working with festival composition colleagues Stephen Cabell and Rob Paterson.

Album Review by Take Effect

Thank you, Tom Haugen at Take Effect for a wonderful review of my album, Long These Days. 😊🎶

“A gorgeous body of work that takes inspiration from the poetry of Christina Rossetti and Pablo Neruda, the themes of love, empowerment and nostalgia use improvised bouts that provides even more intrigue and awe.”
