I’m a fulltime composer now. After years as a critic, consultant, and thought leader on classical music’s future

Big news

The recording of my three string quartets, on the Acis label, played by the Terra String Quartet, recent winners of the Naumburg Chamber Music Competition.

One track released now, a second coming in March, and the third with the full album in May.

The track out now is Quartet for Anne, which I wrote as a surprise birthday gift for my wife, Anne Midgette, bringing musicians to our home to play it.

The Terra quartet plays it gorgeously. Hear it at the link, or on Spotify and other streaming services starting February 13.

Even before its official release, it’s been broadcast on KMFA in Austin and KPAC in San Antonio.
