In the past, I have made it a personal tradition to send out a Thank You to the musicians who performed my works during the year. But in this surreal year of 2020, when time seems to warp and nothing has been normal, my traditional thanks got overlooked. Now, as live performances seem more precious than ever, I want to send a much belated Thanks.

Thanks for the wonderful
performances and premieres of my music in 2019.

From Poland to Brazil, Belgium to Kosovo
From Wisconsin to D.C. to New York…
Thanks to these wonderfully gifted musicians
I am so grateful for their skill, sensitivity, and artistry!
