Starting next fall, I will be acting as the director of the TaiHei Ensemble, a new music group in Eugene that performs works inspired by cross-cultural communication across the Pacific Rim. I’m very excited about this, as, of course, I’m fascinated by the potential of international dialog through music, and I’m interested to be working on a different end of the process of musical creation.

Anyway, now I’m looking to build our library of works by living composers, so I’m holding a call for scores. Please share your music with us.

Beall Hall, School of Music and Dance
University of Oregon, Eugene, OR
Admission: Free

The Fireworks ensemble (more info) will present a concert of new music, including a premiere of my new quartet, “Zephyr.” Details TBA

Please excuse the appearance / load times of this site. I’ve just upgraded to WordPress 2.8, and it seems there are a few compatibility issues. Thanks for your patience while I iron these out.

I think I’ve gotten everything sorted out… Though it required a downgrade back to WordPress 2.7. Please let me know if discover any problems.

I’ve received a recording of my piece BEAM for Balinese Gamelan, premiered last month by the Pacific Rim Gamelan. This was my first “serious” piece for the ensemble, and I’m looking forward to using what I’ve learned in this piece in future projects.
