Hello everyone. So I have indeed returned from Aspen with a whole new set of skills under my belt and a fresh batch of friends and connections that will last a lifetime. I have posted the clips I did while at Aspen on youtube. You can find them on my youtube profile page. Per the suggestion of our Aspen guru, Jack Smalley, I made some changes to my film music page. I will no longer be embedding movies onto the page, but rather have posted excerpts of my music so that any visiting filmmakers can envision their own work with mine. I have also added more samples to the Engraving page (score done in Aspen).

This fall is going to be very busy. I am in the midst of writing a trio for flute, viola, and harp that will be premiered on a recital in September by my dear harpist friend Emily. I am simultaneously writing an Alleluia for the St. Michael’s College Chorale, which will hopefully be done by the end of August and premiered with the group sometime in the spring. I am also going to be writing an orchestral work to submit to the Jacob Druckman Prize, a competition open to alumni of the Aspen Music Festival, which is due at the end of September. Wish me luck!
