Welcome! Have a look at my current projects.
March brings concerts on Long Island and in Manchester, where "Parley," for acoustic guitar and double bass duet, premieres at a 'Her Endangered Melody,' a benefit concert for the Donne foundation.. March is Women in Music month: Amy Wurtz performs the last movement of "Three Romantic Pieces" for cello and piano, part of her Women in Music series. You can find it here. "Three Romantic Pieces" will receive a full performance July 15th, in Chicago.
In June, the Long Island Composers Alliance presents new works for clarinet, viola, and piano. Trio Atropos will premiere "Elements" at the South Huntington Public Library, a piece with 4 short movements: Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. Meanwhile, I am composing a piece for vibraphone and string quartet, for percussionist Casen Garrett. The new work is scheduled to premiere September 2025 in Atlanta, GA.

Len Marks Photography Many thanks to Dick Shanley for the gracious use of his sculptures: Dick Shanley, Artist "Catherine Neville’s Danses should really be choreographed, so successfully did she evoke the spirit of dance by mere suggestion. All the elements of Fantin-Latour’s painting were there– melody, articulation, rhythm – but in short bursts that sketched a body in motion." David La Marche, New York Concert Review
![]() Danses, a lithograph by Henri Fantin-Latour 1898. This work inspired for a work for solo violin of the same name.
