I love when performers and composers collaborate to bring new ideas to life. One of the highlights of my time in performing ensembles was the opportunity to meet and perform works by living composers. I count myself lucky to have worked with composers such as Andrea Clearfield, LeAndre Benton, Katahj Copley and more, live and in-person. These interactions have inspired me to write music that will, hopefully, be interesting to performers.
