Last night, Jake Runestad hosted a fabulous little salon at his home, and I had the pleasure of meeting Reinaldo Moya, Paul Rudoi, and Abbie Betinis. I shared my piece for Pierrot ensemble, Via the Void, and we also listened to Paul’s Song of Sky and Sea and Reinaldo’s Fragmentum II. We all agreed that we had a fabulous time, and I especially enjoyed the amiable and effortless conversation we all had. We talked of turning this into a regular little affair, so I await eagerly for our next salon! (Or… as Jake put it, “composer geek-out session.” Rather apt, that!)
Heartstopper Blog
Like so many around the world, I immediately fell in love with Alice Oseman’s Heartstopper, and I’ve responded to the program in a series of blog posts about all eight episodes from the first series. I hope you enjoy!
Travel Blog
In addition to composing and performing music, I adore traveling the world. So far I’ve captured ten of my journeys in a series of multi-part blog posts, covering cities like Detroit, New Orleans, and New York and islands like the UK and Puerto Rico. More will come as I continue to travel the world!
