The choir of Christ Church, Philadelphia sang my Evening Service in F this month for their Evensong. It's a rather challenging piece and therefore hasn't been performed much. They did a fantastic job and I'm so happy this piece continues to be sung.

I am honored that the Montgomery County Chorale and Orchestra will be playing my orchestral composition "Prelude and Chorale" this Sunday. It is based on a wildly vivid dream I had in 2023, where I heard music so loud (in my dream) that it woke me up. It is dedicated to my parents.

When hate-fueled executive orders prevented these kids (which include some of my wife's students) from having an opportunity to play with the Marine Band, former band members of all the military branches stepped up - on their own dime - and came together to make this concert happen.
What musicians did after an executive order on DEI led to the cancellation of U.S. Marine Band collaboration
After an executive order ending DEI initiatives, the U.S. Marine Band canceled a concert featuring young musicians of color. Veterans stepped in to mentor the aspiring musicians.
