It was such a pleasure to see WHERE WE ARE brought to life by the talented BFA students at Oakland University (dir. the brilliant Jacob ben Widmar)! I was stoked to expand the arrangements for the university’s 10-person cast, and was genuinely floored by the depth and commitment that the students brought to the piece. Go Grizzlies!!!

Songs from a Roof!
I had a ball sharing some new music at Andrew Mullins‘ and John Coyne‘s “The Get Together” this week! The incomparable Stefan Schallack and Lizzie Koennecke were cool enough to learn songs from both Noise and the song cycle I’m working on, Where We Are, some of which were thrown at them basically minutes beforehand! It was so exciting to hear new tunes from the other featured composers, John Coyne and Jaron Barney as well.
Many thanks to everyone who helped bring such a supportive crew to such a scenic roof 🙂
