IN THE NEWS:

     I've launched a Patreon!  I'm writing new music, you and your students and quartet and choir members want new music, and this is a great way to influence it. I call that a win-win! Join the tribe! 
     Hornist Howard Wall released a new recording of Appalachia on his album, Horn Monologues, Affetto/Naxos in April, and a new recording called Music for Women with violinist Elmira Darvarova and Howard Wall was released in May 2020, also on Affetto/Naxos. 
     Appalachia is being recreated by female powerhouses Debra Sherrill Ward, Mary Beth Orr and Sam Gowen on stage and in video. 
     Path and Pinnacle began pre-plague 2020 with flute, horn, and piano written for Tina Barkan's mother, Ludmilla Uhlela. ​
     And Metalwerx continues to feature great contemporary music including Deep, at 2020 lunchtime performances.
     Now it's a whole new world, and my new Patreon is heralding in a new flurry of works for all, without barriers.
