ensembleNEWSRQ Premieres Karst

On January 22, ensembleNewSRQ premiered my new piece for violin and percussion, Karst, in Sarasota, Florida. Commissioned by the ensemble, this five-movement piece draws inspiration from the geology and landscapes of Florida. The premiere featured the ensemble’s artistic directors, George Nickson, Dallas Symphony principle percussionist and chair of percussion at Southern Methodist University, and Samantha Bennett, Dallas Opera Orchestra violinist.
