I’ve been enjoying Frances Wilson’s wonderful “The Cross-Eyed Pianist” blog posts and “Meet the Artist” highlights for years. So, I am delighted to be featured in a “Meet the Artist” interview about working with master musicians & commissions as inspiring affirmations of connection. Plus, a word or two about my compositional process and big hopes for the future!

Thanks to the incredibly masterful musicians who have brought my music to life and to the PARMA Recordings team for bringing this album to fruition.

There’s an encore release of violinist Audrey Wright‘s gorgeous recording of Balancing on the Edge of Shadows with pianist Yundu Wang, the official release of cellist Carmine Miranda‘s beautiful rendition of Resolves, and my violin duet Night Stream, plus remasters of several expansive orchestral pieces recorded with the Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra, Petr Vronský Conductor and the Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra, Stanislav Vavřínek Conductor, and In Passages for violin soloist and string orchestra recorded by the Croatian Chamber Orchestra, Miran Vaupotić, Conductor.

Washington Metropolitan Philharmonic to premiere Shredding Glass
It’s been a long time coming – now in the year of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, I’m excited that Maestro Ulysses James will conduct the Washington Metropolitan Philharmonic in the first North American performances of “Shredding Glass“. Both performances will be on Sunday, December 12, 2021. 2:30 at the Annandale United Methodist Church, Annandale, VA and 7:30 at the historic George Washington Masonic National Memorial, Alexandria, VA. Purchase tickets.
“Shredding Glass” began as an immediate cathartic response to the events and images of September 11, 2001. To me this piece represents the essence of an emotional remembrance of how a sense of time and timelessness unfolded while coping with the realization, heartbreak and impact of this catastrophic event. I believe the music is ultimately about transcendence.
