Journey of the Next Step
This piece was written Fall 2023 for choreographer Shannon Courtney, and premiered March 6th 2024, with additional performances March 7th and March 8th. This collaboration evolved from a series of discussions between myself and the choreographer, in which we discussed incorporating a mixture of optimism and uncertainty, joy and fear, the essence of what comes next as we move form one stage of life to another.

Forgotten Memories
Forgotten Memories, for Alto Saxophone and Fixed Media, grew out of a conversation I had with Ben Levesque in which we found we both had grandparents who had been lost to Alzheimer's. Forgotten Memories serves as an elegy to those memories, to the self, to the things we forget, the lives we have lived and lost somewhere in the days gone by. The piece was premiered February 27, 2024, and is performed by Ben Levesque, Alto Saxophone, with Dr. Kyle Grimm starting the fixed media.
