Connection, Expression, & Collaboration
I believe every composition should reflect the story, strengths, and spirit of the ensemble or project it’s created for. Whether for the concert stage, the marching field, or multimedia, I work closely with directors, performers, and collaborators to ensure the music is meaningful, effective, and rewarding. Each project is approached as a true collaboration, one that unites performers, directors, and audiences through expressive and impactful music.
Composing for Concert Ensembles
Each composition is crafted to be educational, challenging, and reward for both student and professional ensembles. My goal is to provide music that supports musical growth, inspires performers, and connects meaningfully with audiences. For published music, please visit the Concert Works page.
Concert Commissions
Commissioning a new piece should be a seamless and collaborative experience. I work closely with directors, performers, and organizations to bring their vision to life, ensuring the process is clear, creative, and rewarding. In addition to individual commissions, I also offer consortium projects that allow multiple ensembles to take part in the creation of a new work at a lower cost.
Contact Me to start a new commission or learn more about joining a consortium.
Open consortia
The following projects are currently available for participation. Select a link below for details.
Composing for the marching arts
Every composition is built to serve both the performers on the field and the audience in the stands, striking a balance between artistry, education, and entertainment. Each show is written to be both educational and engaging and designed to leave a lasting impact on performers and audiences alike. Whether you're starting fresh with an original concept or incorporating arrangements into an existing vision, I work closely with your staff to shape a show that reflects your ensemble’s programming, length, instrumentation, technical demands, and artistic goals. For packaged shows, please visit Marching Arts Works page.
Each ensemble and production is unique. Pricing is based on instrumentation, length, complexity, and overall production requirements. Contact Me to discuss your and receive a custom quote tailored to your show.
