Ñamandu

Ñamandu has now been performed twice! The world premiere was performed by Katherine Weintraub last month at the World Saxophone Congress in Zagreb, Croatia, and the second performance was at the Applause New Music Concert Series in Mansfield, TX. Mansfield is near Dallas, my hometown, so not only was I able to go and hear the piece performed for the first time, many of my family and friends were able to be there too. After writing two pieces for Katherine and communicating el

Ñamandú in Croatia - About the piece

My newest piece, Ñamandú for saxophone and interactive electronics, is going to be premiered on July 12 at the World Saxophone Congress in Zagreb, Croatia. Katherine Weintraub commissioned the piece and will perform it along with In Rarefied Air, the solo piece I wrote for her last year. I'm honored to collaborate with such a high-calibre musician as Katherine - she's doing an amazing job with it, and her performance is going to be fantastic! Here's the recital information. T

ChamberLab!

On October 12, ChamberLab, Tucson's alt-classical, D.I.Y. chamber music concert series, will be presenting a concert of string quartets at Hotel Congress, in which my piece Carnival will be performed. This will be my first performance in Tucson, which has been my home for the past year. This will also be the first performance of Carnival in almost 10 years! ChamberLab is an awesome group. If you're in Tucson, you should come out to the show... it's going to be great! #news #p

In Rarefied Air

Katherine Weintraub delivered a stellar premiere of my latest work, "In Rarefied Air," at the North American Saxophone Alliance Southeast Conference in March. This piece was fun to write - each contrasting section brought to mind a landscape or environment that I tried to connect in a meaningful way, so that by listening to it you get a sense of having made a journey. I thought Katherine's performance really brought a brilliance and color to those imagined landscapes, not to

SCI National Conference 2017

I'm returning from the SCI National Conference at Western Michigan University. It was a weekend jam-packed with eleven concerts of excellent music and a chance to catch up with familiar faces and make new acquaintances. My piano solo, Gravitons, was performed last night by Dutcher Snedeker, who did a fantastic job! Congrats to everyone involved, and thanks to the faculty at WMU for putting together such a top-notch conference! #news #performances

El Cucuy at Louisiana Tech

Angelo Favis will include my guitar solo, El Cucuy, in his guest artist recital at Louisiana Tech University on September 24th! I wrote El Cucuy in 2010 and revised it last year. It was inspired by the legendary "Cucuy" - a Latin American legend similar to the boogeyman. This will be its second public performance, and I'm honored that Angelo has brought his superb artistry to my music! See more about the piece here! #news #performances

Three premieres in one week!

So, I was thinking about the last time I've had a new piece performed for the first time, and I honestly don't remember when the last premiere was. It's been at least 2 years, maybe even 3! I can hardly believe it - I've been very busy over the last few years, but mostly with teaching, and all of the performances of my music have been older pieces. Now, I am very excited to finally share three brand new pieces with the world, and it's all happening within one week! First, the
