Due to a number of factors, it has been over two years (!) since I have updated my news page. However, I am going to make an effort to update this page again!

Life has been wonderfully busy and fulfilling these past two years – for one thing, Tom and I welcomed our beautiful daughter Marin in October of 2022. I have also enjoyed my time as choral & strings editor at TUX People’s Music immensely, working with an excellent roster of composers and several team members to put out publications for choir and educational string ensembles.

I have recently completed my time as a visiting assistant professor at Michigan Technological University during the 2023-2024 academic year, where I taught music fundamentals, music theory, music appreciation, music & tradition, and composition. I was also an applied lesson instructor in composition at Michigan Tech for several years.

I cannot even hope to come close to listing all professional news that has taken place since my previous news bulletin, but some highlights include:

• Performances of Babylon in the United States by The Crossing and Harvard University Choir

• Premieres of commissions for Negar Afazel and Peabody Camerata, organist Shannon Murphy, The Glasgow School of Art Choir, Portara Ensemble in Nashville, St Machar’s Cathedral in Aberdeen, and Chor Leoni in Vancouver, BC

• Premieres of Roses of Life, A Noiseless Patient Spider, and others

• Many performances of my piece An Account of a Comet, including in Talinn and Berlin

• A number of broadcasts on BBC Radio 3

I could not be more thrilled to be moving to Tennessee this summer to begin an appointment at Sewanee – University of the South). I look forward to continuing my compositional work there!
