Appearances
During the 2023 ACDA National Conference Feb 22-25 in Cincinnati, I’m presenting an interest session with my colleague Will Chandler on “Re-Discovering the Choral Music of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.” I’m also hosting interest sessions, participating in panel discussions, attending reading sessions, and engaging with friends and fans.
Hope to see you there, my choral peeps!
Conducting
I’m conducting one of my favorite choral chestnuts, “Choose Something Like a Star” by Randall Thompson (pictured), this Sunday 1/29 during the 11:30am service at Neighborhood Church.
In February, I’m conducting “Rise Up, My Love” by Healy Willan, “Red Red Rose” by James Mulholland, and Der Gang Zum Liebchen by Johannes Brahms.
FUNDRAISING UPDATE:
The benefit concert on December 16 was a big hit, and proceeds exceeded our expectations. Thanks to the generosity of concert supporters, we’ve now raised about 3/4 of what we need in order to fully fund our Carnegie Hall trip in March.
More to come soon — it’s getting close!
Singing
Also this Sunday 1/29, I’m singing my setting of “Imani” (faith) for solo voice and organ at the 9am service at Neighborhood Church. Come hear us!
For Fun
The legendary Bishop Michael Curry preached live at St. John’s Cathedral on Saturday January 14. I was star-struck!
