COMMISSIONS
There's nothing quite like bringing a new piece of music to life for the first time. Through the commissioning process I enjoy working closely with each organization to craft and create a new work that fits the exact needs of your ensemble, ensuring a successful premiere performance and a composition of lasting quality. Anyone can commission new music!
