My new piece for orchestra, Coffee Hands, is complete (minus a few edits in the last movement). The piece explores the music of the various cultures involved in the coffee trade. Now to find an orchestra to play it! I’ll hopefully have some demo tracks up soon.

The MSU Wind Symphony was gracious enough to do a reading of Isle of May today. They did a great job with a difficult piece! Time to edit. The piece will be played next year by one of the wind ensembles at MSU.

My work Isle of May won the MSU Honors Competition for Composition in the wind symphony category. This means I will have the piece programmed and performed by the highly talented MSU wind symphony this coming fall. Very exciting!
