About Me

Although this page is no longer active, you can still enjoy it as an e-journal of my tenure as Composer-in-Residence for the Boston Modern Orchestra Project. I carried this proud title for three years (2006-09), under the auspices of the Music Alive program, a joint venture of Meet The Composer, Inc. and the American Symphony Orchestra League. This is where I jotted down my experiences, thoughts and adventures with BMOP, and in the musical life of Boston. Welcome!
