Well, it’s been several months since I’ve updated this page. However, despite all feeling to the contrary in day-to-day life right now, there has actually been some news in my musical corner of the world. I shall attempt to catch up now!

Many, many thanks to the groups who have performed my work in various capacities recently.

Shannon Murphy and her choir at First Presbyterian Church of Rutherford, NJ premiered my setting of the Nicene Creed on All Saints Day, November 1st 2020. They did it in a virtual performance – no easy feat! They commissioned the piece last year in memory of choir member Tom Gray. The premiere was originally scheduled for March 2020.
Ryan Tibbetts and his singers at St. Mary’s in Richmond, VA gave a lovely performance of my “Shall we gather at the river?”, also on All Saints Day. If you’re friends with me on Facebook, you can see the video here.
The wonderful SACRA/PROFANA and Juan Carlos Acosta included my “Mater Dei” in their holiday concert, which they streamed online through YouTube. The performance is from their 2019 holiday concert. The video can be found in full here, with my piece starting at 25:17: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS66bXTlUN8. It also includes pieces by composers including Brandon Waddles, Fahad Siadat, Amy Gordon, and Shawn Kirchner.
In a rare live performance, with plenty of space, Kantos Chamber Choir and their director Ellie Slorach recorded my “Brightest and Best” as part of their musical Advent Calendar. The piece is available on James Jordan’s “Evoking Sound” series with GIA.
