Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird is now published by the E. C. Schirmer Music Company

I was so honored to be commissioned by the stunning saxophonist Carrie Koffman, and so excited to work with her once again. (My work for alto sax and piano, Orpheus Singing, was also composed for Carrie as a gift!).

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird was premiered out of doors as part of a group visit of Hartford’s Wallace Stevens Walk in October, 2021, and was given an indoor premiere later that month in an all-Juliana Hall concert held at the Hartt School of Music. Soprano and Hartt faculty member Cherie Caluda joined saxophonist and Hartt faculty member Carrie Koffman in both of these beautiful performances.
