I'm happy to share my recent podcast interview with Gino Diminich of the Indiana Daily Student. He interviews me about my in-progress opera, The Mensch.

My opera MOOCH THE MAGNIFICENT was recently performed to a most raucous (and joyous) audience at ChamberFest Brown County. ChamberFest Brown County. The Brown County Democrat published a great article about the inspiration behind the opera and the messages for audiences.

This fall, my Two Latin Dances will be recorded by trombonist Bill Haugeberg and pianist Kenneth Saxon on the album Trombone Time w/ Dr. Bill.

Later in the fall, I have a composer residency at The Hartt School, where I'll speak with the composers and meeting with various performing ensembles in the precollege program. I'll also stop by a few of the area high schools to work with orchestras and talk to the theory and composition students.

Another highlight, for me, of the upcoming concert season is the New York orchestral premiere of my Concerto for Trumpet by Raymond Riccomini and the Centre Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Scott Jackson Wiley.

Act I of my in-progress opera THE MENSCH was given an extraordinary premiere in a workshop performance at Indiana University last fall. I've almost finished the piano-vocal score for the complete opera, and I am seeking a professional opera company or collegiate program to help further develop the work.

My songs Nursery Rhyme and Of Molluscs were recorded by musicians from the Interlochen faculty. Also on the CD are works by Carrie Magin, Cynthia Van Maanen. Here is my song Nursery Rhyme:
