Recent Works and What He Does:

The Circle City Suite for Symphonic Orchestra, optional narrator and projected media

 

 

 

The Circle City Suite is a major, five movement work for Symphonic Orchestra, optional Narrator and Slides.

It’s “Americana,” in the tradition of Aaron Copland,
yet it also utilizes the melting pot of music created by our e pluribus unum.

Youth strings are employed in the final movement as its multi-ethnic music marches
forward to an American future that’s full of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

It’s perfect for a 4th of July celebration or end of the season fireworks finale.
