Well- the website here turned into all-out CD marketing, the last couple months, and accordingly has been very quiet. But with a new year it’s time to look ahead to what’s in store, Lord willing:

• A new website, planned for February launch.
• A large slate of commissions, including one setting of a hymn of JFK’s funeral (to be premiered at the Kennedy Center in a concert in honor of JFK), one to be premiered in England, and one that will be my largest commission yet (more details once it’s official).
• Residencies/appearances/performances with the Indianapolis Children’s Choir, Tennessee Tech University, a concert at the Lincoln Center, a (tentative) trip to Ireland, and a couple weeks in California in residency at two universities.
• Several pieces going into print, including the first installment of a new cycle of American Folk Songs that I’m writing, published in a new series with Hinshaw Music.
• A Basque Lullaby (wind band version) has been selected for  Texas All-State. (When it comes to all-state, it doesn’t get any bigger than Texas.)
