Welcome! Have a look at my current projects.

The 2023/24 season has begun!
 
I’m very excited to share that my roster of performances is already filling up. I’m grateful and deeply honored to be included on seven concerts (two at Carnegie Hall!) and three albums!
 
August 13th starts the season off with a performance of Danses, for solo violin, in Sacramento, California at the Crocker Art Museum. Danses and its companion piece, Idyll, will reappear March 25th at Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall in New York, performed by Dan Flanagan. A second work will appear at Carnegie this season: Movements of Sun and Shadow, for cello and piano, in a performance  by Ovidiu Marinescu, cello, and Noreen Cassidy-Polera. The date of this performance is TBA, stay tuned!
 
October is quite busy, with three performances scheduled! Françoise Vanhecke will perform Cinderella for soprano and fixed electronics in Antwerp on October 7,  Alex Davis, performs Figurations for solo bassooon on October 26 at Rowan University, and the Cobalt Quartet is set to perform Exploratory for saxophone quartet at The Church-in-the-Gardens in Queens, NY. November brings two concerts in New York: chamber music for flute, cello and piano, and an evening of art songs on Long Island.  
 
Finally, mid-winter will see the premiere of Fire for clarinet, viola, and piano trio, in 3 countries: Australia, the Netherlands, and the U.S. The 50-for-50 project, organized by Paul Kopetz, will bring a simultaneous performance of new music in several venues world-wide.
 
And then there are the album releases! I’m thrilled to be included on Joseph Rebman’s upcoming album of new works for solo harp, coming in January 2024 on the Bright Shiny Things label. Meanwhile, Kyle MIller’s wonderful recording of Three Pieces on Paintings by Kandinsky, for electric guitar and vibraphone, is set for release in October 2023! Lastly, Movements of Sun and Shadow will appear on an album of works for cello on the Navona label, distributed by Naxos.
 
I’m deeply grateful for all the exciting things happening this year, and look forward to creating ever more music!

The brilliantly talented ensemble Ictus Novus, Kyle Miller and Matthew Kowalski, performing "Three Pieces on Paintings by Kandinsky" in 2022. Their beautifully remastered recording of this work is set for release in October.

The album cover of the Ictus Novus release symbolizes the Kandinsky paintings that inspired the music: Red accent, Blue, and Green are fractured into smaller pieces at the center of the stripes.
