One of last year’s projects was a new wind ensemble piece for Stephen Story and the Carnegie Mellon Wind Ensemble: Bright Embrace saw the light of day on November 18th, 2023. I’m sorry it took so long to post the recording. It is always such a joy to go back to my alma mater and work with the students that are there now: in addition to the premiere with Stephen and the Wind Ensemble, I also gave a talk on my music to undergrads and masters students in the composition seminar, and got to spend some time with my very first composition teacher, the one and only Nancy Galbraith! Take a listen to the piece here.
