So what's this piece even about, anyway? Jen, my consortium lead, told me very early in our collaborative process that her kid is one of her great joys. From there we spun a concept that's focused on play, growth, and self-love (and, for me, unmasking).
Echoes: a consortium for cornet and piano. Subject matter: play, growth, and self-love. We will be paying particular attention to the pieces of our childhood we leave behind—and the pieces that grow along with us. Technical considerations: While no extended brass techniques are planned at this time, we anticipate that Echoes will include call-and-response interplay between soloist and pianist. We hope this will provide teachers with an opportunity to explore accompanist collaboration (both in short timeframes and over extended periods!) with students. https://bit.ly/echoes-2025-info

Happy Pride, y'all! I wasn't actually expecting this to drop today, but the timing worked out, so:
I am super fucking excited to announce Echoes, a new consortium and my first-ever piece for cornet and piano, launching today with Jen Oliverio as my wonderful consortium lead. 1/🧵

Meme that says, in very jagged fucked-up letters, “you wouldn’t deadname a pope.” In the style of the “you wouldn’t download a car” meme

Every comment matters. (Here’s mine.)
Gender-affirming care is a long-established medical specialty with best practices outlined in the WPATH Standards of Care. No transgender, nonbinary, or gender-expansive child simply decides one day to request puberty blockers, hormones, or surgery; nor do they instantly receive any of the above. Any decision to medicate a child to either delay puberty or counteract effects of unwanted development is a careful, thought-out process involving qualified medical professionals whose job is not only to assess how best to treat the patient but to determine if any treatment would in fact be appropriate. To restrict even puberty blockers—drugs used freely on cisgender children experiencing precocious puberty—denies transgender children any attempt to avoid unwanted development, including delaying puberty so the child can take the time to be fully confident in the path that is best for them. I unequivocally oppose any measures that would prevent doctors from working with minor transgender patients and their caretakers to provide children with the best medically appropriate care possible. These are hyperpartisan endeavors designed to inflict maximum harm on an already vulnerable population: children who despite the horrors of a transphobic world are determined to be themselves. Please oppose this bill and any future variants. Our children deserve to have their health concerns treated by doctors, not by legislators playing God.

I saved this sometime in 2017 and it still holds up. (Thank you, Teen Vogue Politics!)
