We were honored to have special guest Nathan Gulla join us for our Video Game Music Concert. This piece gives the feels to anyone who has played games from the Legend of Zelda series! #gaming #zelda #gamingcommunity #legendofzelda #piano

I'm excited and honored that the Half Moon Orchestra has requested my presence as a guest performer and arranger for their April 6th Video Game Music Concert! It's been a while since I've arranged for full orchestra, and this was such a great reminder of how much I love creating music in this way. Thank you for having me and I can't wait to share the stage with you!

Fantasy for Trumpet Ensemble (2024)
By Nathan Gulla

Fantasy for Trumpet Ensemble was commissioned by the Massachusetts based Too Much Trumpet, a 50+ member sight-reading and community based trumpet ensemble whose model is now being shared across the nation.

Dive into a vibrant modern piece crafted for an ensemble of 10 Bb trumpets, secondary flugelhorn and an optional piccolo trumpet. Designed with accessibility in mind, this composition caters to players of all skill levels, mirroring the diverse experience of the "Too Much Trumpet" ensemble. Immerse yourself in stunning melodies alongside supportive harmonies, creating a rich and dynamic soundscape.

Hey friends, it's that time of year! I'll be playing Christmas music for Sellersville Winterfest tonight at St. Paul's United Church of Christ around 6 PM and it would be great to see some familiar faces. I've also been asked to play with the Allentown Symphony for their Holiday Pops concert next week, more on that soon! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Very honored to have Michelle Cann performing my Ballade for Piano tomorrow night for the Friends of Chamber Music Piano Series in Denver. If you're not local, not to worry! Tickets can also be purchased to view their live stream. I can't wait to hear this one!

Michelle Cann, piano - Friends of Chamber Music “Michelle Cann is technically fearless, with a bold attack and an enormous, rich sound...But even more than Cann’s virtuosity, it was her joyous, lit-from-within energy that connected with the audience." — La Scena Musicale

My newest piano piece is being performed by the amazing Michelle Cann today at Grand Teton Music Festival!

Sunday Piano Recital: Michelle Cann | Grand Teton Music Festival Ginastera: Piano Sonata No. 1, Op. 22 Joel Thompson: My Dungeon Shook: Three American Preludes Ravel: La Valse Nathan Gulla: Ballade for Piano Still: A Deserted Plantation Liszt: Mephisto Waltz No. 1, S. 514

Had an amazing time last night in Sarasota watching Michelle Cann perform! I'm incredibly honored to have had my Ballade for Piano premiered during this concert, and look forward to sharing more of this new work soon!

Many exciting things are in the works for me in 2023! I'm elated to announce the world premiere of a new solo piano piece I completed for incredible pianist and friend, Michelle Cann. She'll be performing my Ballade for Piano in the Artist Series Concerts of Sarasota this Tuesday, March 7th. It's been quite a while since I've written a serious piece of concert music, and I'm so grateful to have my Ballade in the hands of such a capable, impassioned artist. I'm lucky to be able to call her family and to work closely with her such that I could tailor the piece to fit her playing style.

I will be attending the premiere in Sarasota FL, and it would be great to see some familiar faces for anyone who happens to be in the area. I've never been more excited to experience a performer's interpretation of my work, and I can't wait to share it with all of you! Here are the details of the venue:

It's been quite a while since I've prepared a set to perform live, but I was given the opportunity to perform some solo stuff this past Saturday thanks to some friends and peers old and new. A huge thank you to the Washington Metropolitan Gamer Symphony Orchestra and Virtual Video Game Orchestra for having me! They were also kind enough to split up the replays, so here is a link to my set:

It's modest, but it makes me so happy to know that I have fans who have found value in my music. I'm so grateful for every single one of you!
