https://www.youtube.com/watch Facebook was having technical issues yesterday but here it is -- my piece "We're Not Done Drumming" with poet/speaker Rebecca Thomas, performed by Symphony Nova Scotia, conducted by Holly Mathieson. Enjoy!

Tonight! Symphony Nova Scotia @symphonyns will be hosting a Watch Party with a video recording of my piece We’re Not Done Drumming from the performance in Halifax this past November. It will be streamed at 6:30pm EST (7:30pm ADT), followed by a live Q&A session at 6:50pm hosted by Symphony Nova Scotia’s conductor Holly Mathieson @hollyjmathieson featuring myself (composer) and poet/speaker Rebecca Thomas @beccaleat who wrote the powerful text for this piece. This is a rar...e chance for me to share this piece, which received a standing ovation at the concert. Enjoy!!

For those of you who have asked to hear my piece for Symphony orchestra, We’re Not Done Drumming with poet/speaker Rebecca Thomas, it will be streamed through Facebook and Zoom this Thursday, May 14 at 6:30pm EST (7:30pm ADT). Symphony Nova Scotia performed it back in November. I will also be part of a live Q and A session after the Online Encore.

Looking forward to rehearsal with Symphony Nova Scotia today and concert tomorrow!

Looking forward to attending the performance of my piece We’re Not Done Drumming in Halifax next Thursday evening. The following morning, I will be doing a composition masterclass at Dalhousie University’s Fountain School of Performing Arts #composer #newmusic

Thrilled to have received an Ontario Arts Council Grant for a new work for two cellos and piano. Thank you Bryan Holt and Amahl Arulanandam for commissioning me!
