Welcome! Have a look at my current projects.

My two works for solo violin are traveling the world. "The Bow and The Brush," a program of music inspired by art, includes a premiere of Idyll in London at the Pissaro Stern Gallery on February 17, with a repeat performance on March 5th at the University of California, Berkeley. Danses, inspired by a lithograph of Fantin-Latour bearing the same name, will be performed August 16th at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento.
Meanwhile, songs for soprano and piano will appear on a program celebrating music and poetry in Locust Valley, NY, April 23. A repeat performance of Jenny Kiss'd Me will be followed by a new work: the premiere of Inspiration, with poetry by Ruby Archer. The program also includes Dreams/Take Heart for soprano, clarinet, and piano, with yours truly performing as a clarinetist! January featured three back-to-back concerts: January 6,7, and 8, on Long Island: Symmetry for clarinet quartet, performed by the Namaste Ensemble. Forbidden Playground, for string trio, premiered at Queens College with the Panish Trio in December. 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.
