New Year
The flute piece is finished, it's a Sonatine.
I'm currently writing for a brilliant Australian classical trumpet player based in New York for his Masters recital at Julliard in May. His name is Brent Grapes and I plan to be there for the rehearsals and premiere. It's a piece for trumpet and chamber ensemble.

Dates for the tour are:
