News
While the coronavirus has obviously put a halt on live performances for the foreseeable future, 2020 has seen some good news. My Two Nocturnes for piano has been selected for recording by Jeffrey Jacob; the date of that session is pending. Four-Letter Words has been recorded by saxophonist Noah Getz, clarinetist Robert DeLutis, and pianist Jeffrey Chappell; that recording is now released. I've also been notified by my high school alma mater (Dieruff High School in Allentown, PA) that I've been named to be included in their Wall of Distinction. Meanwhile, I continue to write, having now completed seventeen pieces plus one transcription of an older piece since the beginning of 2020. Several of these will be performed at the Crane School of Music once things get back to some semblance of normal.
In the meantime, please check out a performance of Cave by the Crane Concert Choir, as well as works by Eastman friends and classmates Eric Ewazen, Chris Kollgaard, Pam Marshall, and David Snow, and a piece by Gary Schneider sung by Eastman friend Susan May Schneider.
