🎼 World Premiere Success! 🎼

For those who missed my recent newsletter or personal FB posts, I'm thrilled to share that my new piece Shifting Sands had its world premiere on July 25, performed by the Keystone Wind Ensemble under the baton of my mentor and friend, Jack Stamp!

This piece is dedicated to Jack, so hearing him bring it to life was incredibly meaningful. It was such a powerful performance, made even more special having my wife, daughter, and parents there to share the moment with me. ❤️

Now I'm looking for college and advanced wind bands interested in performing Shifting Sands. If you know of any ensembles that might be interested, I'd love to connect!

With today being the 80th anniversary of D-Day, I'm sharing my composition Militone for concert band. I composed this work for young bands in 2023 to honor the men and women of D-Day because of their sacrifice and service in defense of freedom. Join me in remembering and honoring those who were brave and sacrificed for the good of others. May we be inspired by them to pursue peace, justice, and truth.
