Now accepting commissions for 2022!
If you have an idea and you want to collaborate, let’s get in touch!
So, I write music…
I started making up songs on my guitar as a ten year old, and began composing pieces at the piano as a teenager. Over the years my love of singing and the written word have inspired me to create choral music, as well, which you can check out below.
My music has been performed by some terrific ensembles in churches, schools, Orchestra Hall, and Landmark Center. Some past collaborations have been with VocalEssence, Fargo-Moorhead Choral Artists, and the Ripon College Chamber Singers.
I’m currently writing a piece for Voices of Hope, a choir for incarcerated singers.
I'm inspired by novels, the remarkable lives of normal people, the melodies of American roots music, the colors of Debussy, and a good walk. All of these things, combined with my experiences as a pianist and teacher, inform the music I write.
Performing my music this year? I’d love to hear about it! This is the best part—getting to know who is bringing my music to life! In your message, please list the name of the ensemble/performer, name of the conductor, title of the piece, when the performance is, and location/venue.
