My New Commission "Three Rivers" to Premiere in Cincinnati

Hello all, and happy new year! I'm coming to you from Cincinnati, Ohio this week, where I have the honor of serving as a guest composer-conductor to the OMEA District 14 8th Grade Honor Band.  I'll be rehearsing these talented young people throughout the week on several works, including their new work they commissioned me to write: Three Rivers.  The work will premiere this weekend at the finale concert of this wonderful week-long event.  Thanks to the band directors here in Ohio for inviting me to work with their fine students!
