Welcome! Have a look at my current projects.

Happy New Year--Three back-to-back concerts: January 6,7, and 8 on Long Island featured Symmetry for clarinet quartet, performed by the Namaste Ensemble in January! Looking forward to performances of Conversations for electric guitar and percussion and Explorations for brass quintet in late spring 2023, and a recording of Forbidden Playground for two toy pianos is underway.
Forbidden Playground, for string trio, premiered at Queens College with the Panish Trio in December. On October 16th, Lavender, for solo flute, received a gorgeous performance by Ginevra Petrucci in Manhattan, at the National Opera Center's Scorca Hall; part of the New York Women Composers fall gala. October 23rd, the Long Island Composers Alliance presented Once, in Early Spring for flute, horn and piano trio at the Bryant Library in Roslyn, New York. October was certainly busy-- Birds for flute quartet and fixed electronics was featured in The Flute Examiner. Last April saw the premiere of The Fog Comes on Little Cat Feet in Trevignano, Italy, by the Vibraharp Quartet. And in May, Once, in Early Spring was premiered by the trio Heavy Metal, at the International Women's Brass Conference, in Denton, TX. Also in May, I was honored with the Hugo Weisgall Award for Music Theory and Composition, granted by the Aaron Copland School of Music!
