Thank you @nyo_can for inviting me to write the 2024 Horizons Tour Wrap-Up! I have such fond memories of this summer that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life!

Tonight! I'm so excited for Juilliard Vocal Arts' premiere of my new chamber opera: "Touch The Sky" with libretto by Yiqi Xue at 7pm in Vocal Arts Studio 305! 7 fantastic and innovative new chamber operas by various Juilliard composers mark the culmination of a year of planning and work, so it's sure to be an exciting concert!

So excited for the world premiere of "Macbeth" for brass quintet at @untitled_ensemble 's upcoming concert! The dress rehearsal sounded fantastic and the group's all Canadian repertoire is both diverse and engaging!

While it's not strictly a Christmas tune, I just finished recording Ricardo Matosinhos' fantastically groovy "Blues in F" from his 15 Estudos para Trompa Grave and I thought it was festive and fun enough to share!
This is one of my favourite pieces for the instrument, and one that I've always wanted to sit down and record! Thank you to @shinwwang and @nicholashartman89 for introducing it to me, and to Ricardo for writing such interesting and diverse music for low horn players! I hope you all enjoy!

Had a great first time performing at the Kennedy Center with the @juilliardschool orchestra! Here's to many more!
