Juventas New Music Ensemble

Last week I received news that the third movement of my song cycle, Portraits of Disquiet (written for soprano Jackie Stevens with text by Kendall A.), will be performed as part of Juventas New Music Ensemble’s April concert. It’s my pleasure to be included on such a timely program, and the first time anything of mine has been performed in Boston since I was a student there (longer and longer ago).

The song cycle was originally commissioned by Cincinnati Soundbox.

You can listen to the premiere performance of said movement below:

It’s been awhile!

Happy end of summer, internet! I’ve been in a sun-induced stupor for a few months, but have some exciting projects and events coming up this fall that I’ll post about in the coming weeks.

The most immediate news: the lovely and talented Elizabeth Zharoff will be performing a new video game arrangement of mine at a recital on September 1st in Leavenworth, WA (more info on my Events page). How Long Have I Been Playing? is an art song for soprano and piano, arranging the main theme from my beloved World of Warcraft in a concert music style. Sarcastic? Yes. Dramatic? Yes. The performance will be recorded, so I hope to share that with all of you at a later date. This piece is part of a larger collaborative song cycle, which I will talk more about when the time comes!

For now, enjoy the original theme, and imagine how I might turn this into a classical art song…
