Le Poisson Rouge NY, New York So honored to have been included on this program by Maestro Kynan Johns! The fantastic Pamela Stein Lynde reprised my piece I Am Not Yours with Helix! under the baton of Larry Markiewicz. I'm so thankful for all of the work and attention that the performers and the conductor have put into this piece. I am especially thankful to Pamela, who has continued to find nuance and depth in each performance of this piece. Congratulations to the founders (Bri Tagliaferro and Kevin "Kay" Madison) and members of Split the Lark on their NY debuts of some fantastic music! A special shoutout to my friends and family (hi mom & dad!) who came out to support me, despite insanely busy schedules and physical injury! 💜

Shindell Choral Hall Rutgers University A marathon of new music created and performed by collaborative pairs of Rutgers composers and performers/ensembles! What a fantastic experience, from working with my cochair Thomas Purcell to plan and realize this program, to hearing all of the fantastic premiers, including two of my own! (Listen for harp, premiered by Joseph Pagani; There was a goat's head for violin, premiered by Thomas Purcell) It was so rewarding to help facilitate these collaborations and performances, and to help create an experimental space within Rutgers where composers and performers can dip their toes into the pools of their personal unknowns. 15 February, 2016
Nicholas Music Center Rutgers University A fun evening juxtaposing early and contemporary musicin the context of their technologies. Especially of interest were the music boxes provided by Murtogh D. Guinness Collection of Mechanical Musical Instruments and Automata of the Morris Musem, the musical robots made by EMMI (Expressive Machines Musical Instruments), and the glass armonica. Co-organized by RU Mason Gross School of the Arts faculty Rebecca Cypess and Steven Kemper. My piece for glass armonica and mixed percussion, The head called to the body, was performed by Chui Ling Tan (glass, percussion) and Greg Riss (percussion). So thankful that they provided such an excellent performance! 20 November, 2015 Shindell Choral Hall Rutgers University A huge thank you to Helix!, maestro Kynan Johns, maestro Larry Markiewicz, and the inimitable soprano Pamela Stein Lynde for their performance of my piece I am not yours last night! It was such a pleasure to hear the entire concert, but especially a pleasure to hear my music realized so wonderfully. 5 & 7 November, 2015 Loree Dance Theater Rutgers University Check out the video of Nicole Ashley Cameli's choreography/performance of One of these days I'm gonna have to get a new thing, with music by yours truly - New Thing for fixed electronics - and great lighting designed by Sara Martino!
