Welcome to my composition page. I am a young composer currently studying music at the graduate level. Please use the navigation menu to the left in order to view all areas of the site. If you have any questions about anything or you wish to acquire music, please contact me directly. I am very flexible at this point and most of my works are self published. My contact information is listed at the bottom of the “biography” page.


 

03-02-2010  I recently had my MM recital here at CCM, and it went very well. Congratulations to all the fine performers who were involved in this event! Full recordings are now available for a limited time, after which only excerpts will be available.

 

02-11-2010  Everything is very busy right now, particularly with my recital coming up. I have interviews at UT Austin and Florida State University this month, so more than likely I will end up at one of these great institutions!

 

10-17-2009  School is off to a great start. I am currently applying to DMA programs in composition as well as preparing for my senior recital which will take place in winter quarter. I am working on a clarinet solo, a computer music piece, and a chamber ensemble piece.

 

08-17-2009  Summer has been going well so far. As usual, time just keeps flying by! I have been working on a couple pieces and hopefully I can get them done in time for deadlines. I also have changed the look to this site and I hope you enjoy it!

 

06-01-2009  Symphony No. 1 for band, organ, and electronics, is finally complete. I am excited with the result and hope to have it played within the next year. Callisto was premiered this past Friday and the recording is online! I hope you enjoy it. I have had a terrific year at CCM and look forward to being back next year.

 

05-02-2009  Time seems to be flying by! I am still working on Io but am near finishing it. I have finished the finale, Callisto which will be performed at CCM by the wind ensemble on May 29th. I’ll post a recording once I have one. I have been named one of many finalists in the 2nd International Frank Ticheli contest. Only one more month and I will be done with my first year of masters work here at CCM!
