I'm a composer and preformer from Penn State. I've been composing seriously for 2 years now. Currently I have only 3 live recordings of pieces that I have had debuted. This spring I'm looking to debut 3-4 more pieces including "Celebrations" for wind ensemble, "Two Hearts" for brass chior, "Achilles Duels Ajax" for percussion quartet, and possible a piano piece. I also preform or have preformed with the percussion studio, percussion ensemble, symphonic band, and symphonic wind ensemble at Penn State University. I also free lance and do gigs around the local area depending on availability and travel distance. I've worked in pit orchestra for several musicals such as "Bye Bye Birde", "The Wizard of Oz", "Hello Dolly", "Your a Good Man Charlie Brown", and "The Sound of Music".If you are looking for something new for you group, students, or self to preform and are interested in anything you hear here, drop me a message at
[email protected] and I'll be more than glad to send you any pieces or answer any questions you have.Not to shabby from starting out in a town in the middle of no where.I recently recieved the PSU Jury Recognition Award for oustanding performance during my percussion jury exam at the end of the Fall '06 semester.
