Originally composed for our string trio, The Bayberries. This piece is inspired by a story my great grandfather used to tell about living near the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Composed for mandolin, viola, and cello.

This piece was performed by violinist Adrian Anantawan and composed in honor of my friends and colleagues at the Al Kamandjati Music School in Palestine. The piece concept was inspired by the four lion statues in the Palestinian city of Ramallah. The piece depicts an imagined scene of the stone lions coming to life and joyfully racing through the city's hills and surrounding olive groves.

I had the chance for my original composition "What We Will be" to be selected for the El Sistema USA National Seminario and Gala in 2022. More than 100 students from across the USA came together through a virtual performance of the piece.

Composed for the organization Shelter Music Boston, I sought to incorporates musical themes and text composed by homeless shelter residents in a collaborative composition project facilitated by Shelter Music. One of the project participants wrote the words, "Music keeps the wicked spirits in line," which became the motivic and artistic inspiration for my piece. "Wicked Spirits" was composed for and performed here by Shelter Music Boston Founder, Julie Davis.

I composed this piece for the organization Shelter Music Boston, as a part of a collaboration using the beautiful text written by a homeless shelter residents in response to hearing a live music performance by these musicians. 

Composed as a part of the Teach to Learn Fellowship 2020, this piece uses the surreal text by Argentinian poet Silvina Ocampo in her poem "Delfines" or, in English, "Dolphins." This project served as a musical exploration into the Argentinian style of Zamba and was performed by me and my collaborators Ari Pluznik on guitar, and Rodolfo Escalona on bomba. Video was filmed in Baltimore Harbor, Maryland USA.
