CIRCE: an accompanied monologue

I've written a poem inspired by Madeline Miller's 'Circe,' and am currently in the process of setting it to music.

The setting is now in draft form, featuring voice, string quartet, and two percussionists.

Premiere anticipated in February 2026 at the Manhattan School of Music

MoDul(s)

Sketching the first of many MoDul(s), groove based-orchestral compositions. I'll be writing a number of MoDul(s) that can be performed as stand alones, or arranged in multi-movement works by the performing organization.

I've been inspired how the composer and pianist, Nik Bärtsch, writes and organizes his music. I've also been inspired by and have been studying recent works by Michael Torke.

Chamber Symphony

Premiere with the American Youth Philharmonic Orchestra, Alexandria, VA on 9 March.

Illegitimate Dance

I wrote a work for clarinet and piano during my undergrad called, embarrassingly, 'The Illegitimate Dance.' It's also been arranged and performed on alto saxophone.

I think the work could use an update and major revision. Potentially serve as fodder for a concerto.

Send me a note if you're interested.

I will initiate planning for a new dramatic work in late 2026. No subject matter or form is chosen yet. Looking for collaborators in dance, theatre, literature, and venues to help develop ideas.
