My Partita #4 was selected for the Semifinal Round of the 2019 International Tuba Euphonium Association's Solo Euphonium - Artist Division competition. Sixteen performers play the piece at the 2019 ITEC in Iowa City, Iowa.
I have just completed several new pieces, including Forrest at Dusk (Danielle Moreau and Danielle VanTuinen) and a set of trios, duets and solos (for 2 trombones and tuba). I'm in the final stages of working on a mixed quartet for James Gourlay, Joanna Ross Hersey, Danielle Moreau and Danielle VanTuinen. (euphonium, 2 tubas and percussion) and a piano duo for Julia Mortyakovia and Valentin Bogdan.
