Upcoming Performances:

7.19.2012		 This summer will mark my first performances on the Canadian east coast: I am thrilled to be presenting two concerts on Prince Edward Island this July. The performances will be in the beautiful and historic St. Simon and St. Jude Church in Tignish and in St. Peter's Cathedral in Charlottetown.
Upcoming Competition:

9.15.2012		 It is good that I am finished my DMA coursework, as I will start the Fall semester in a weeklong competition in Lübeck, Germany. In three rounds, the competition will take place on the historical organs of the St. Jakobi Church, and the Lübeck Cathedral. The Buxtehude organ competition is the most important international organ competition in the north German region, and it is an honor to participate. More information to follow. View the competition Flyer.
Upcoming Paper:

11.18.2012		 I am presenting a paper at the Fifty-Fifth National Conference of The College Music Society in San Diego, California. The topic is entitled: ‘Extemporaneous Ornamentation in 18th Century Keyboard Music: Historical Significance and Performance Application’. This is an area in which I have great interest, and on which I also plan to write my doctoral lecture recital. View the abstract.

New Recordings Online:
4.8.2012 The recording of my DMA I recital, ‘An Easter Celebration: Musical Reflection on the life of Christ’, is now online. Please visit my recordings page and take a listen. (See the program)
Recent Performance:
4.21.2012 This concert is the product of much ongoing work and research, led by Dr. Guido Olivieri. The centerpiece of this concert will be the complete performance of a long forgotten Italian intermezzo by Domenico Sarro. On my end, this concert represents substantial work creating a stylistically appropriate continuo realization to allow for other ensembles to be more readily able to perform this work. The concert will be at 7:30pm, in Jessen Auditorium on the UT campus.
Recent Performance:
3.22.2012 Perhaps 2012 is the year of the Bach Cantata, but you will not hear me complain! On this Lenten Recital I will join Ensemble Settecento for a performance of Bach’s Cantata Wenn nur den lieben Gott lässt walten, BWV 93. The concert is at noon, at St. David’s Episcopal Church (Directions).
Recent Performance:
2.28.2012 Another performance with the Bach Cantata Project, this time BWV 126, Erhalt uns, Herr, bei deinem Wort. Realizing figured bass is a unique musical opportunity for keyboard players, and I always enjoy the opportunity to perform in early music ensembles. View the program here.
Recent Performance:
1.31.2012 It is always an honor to perform with the Bach Cantata Project at the University of Texas at Austin, in the wonderful acoustic of the Blanton Art Museum’s Atrium. We performed BWV 125, Mit Fried und Freud Ich Fahr Dahin.

Recent Performance:
11.4.2011 I enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate with Ashley Tapia on her Community Voice Recital. The program was very diverse, including music by Strauss, Brahms, Wolf, Debussy and De Falla, among others. Concert was held at Manchaca United Methodist Church (manchacaumc.org).
Recent Performance:
11.2.2011 It was my pleasure to perform a new composition for organ and choir composed by Bram Wayman, a Masters composition student at UT Austin. Please visit Mr. Wayman's website to read about the composer.
Recent Performance:
9.25.2011 I was honored to join one of UT's most acclaimed ensembles, the University of Texas Wind Ensemble, for a performance of Intrada 1631 by Stephen Montague. The UT Wind Ensemble has toured throughout Europe (2008), and has performed multiple times at Carnegie Hall in New York City. They have also released several commercial recordings on, among others, the Naxos and Klavier labels. The performance will be conducted by renowned conductor and Director of Bands at UT Jerry F. Junkin. The performance was broadcast live over the internet, and streamed in video by banddirector.com.
Recent Performance:
9.25.2011 Next on the Wind Emsemble program was BWV 680 - "Wir Glauben All' An Einen Gott" - arranged for Wind Ensemble by Leopold Stokowski. It was my pleasure to perform the original Bach organ version preceding their performance of the arrangement.
On the Air:
9.4.2011 Performance of "Fantasia über B-A-C-H", by Max Reger was featured on Pipeworks by Chris Teel, Classically Austin KMFA 89.5
New CD Release:
7.1.2011 A new CD, Once More, With Feeling, is now available. 100% of the proceeds from this CD benefit LINCCO. Cost is $15. The program includes works by Albinoni, Bach, Boëllmann, Buxtehude, Vierne, Yon, and others. Please use the "Contact Me" page to request a copy.

About Me

I'm really glad you have found my website and I hope you enjoy what it has to offer.

I am currently starting a DMA -Doctor of the Musical Arts- degree at the University of Texas at Austin. In Spring '11 I completed my MMus degree, which was an exciting milestone to say the least.

One newly discovered joy of being a doctoral student is that I have time to fully invest myself in the classes I am taking, as well as to take the opportunity to pursue other things that I have never had time to pursue. This website is an example of something I have wanted to do for sometime but neither knew how, nor had time to follow it through. My other hobbies include working on my Jeep and making model airplanes.

Another area to which I am now able to devote time and thought to is my dissertation; however, as a performance major I am not required to write a full length dissertation. Instead, I will prepare what is known as a "lecture recital". This is an exciting opportunity, because it is practical and something an audience can identify with. In essence it is a regular length concert that is divided in half: in the first part I read the result of my research and present my thesis; in the second part I perform the relevant pieces of music - a rare opportunity to blend research with performance, and to explain in detail how the two interact.

Where I've Been

Thanks to Google Maps, here is a map of places I've been. I'll keep updating it as I remember other places and concerts. I need to keep better records!

Senior Recital

This performance is divided between two organs, a C. B. Fisk, and a John Brombaugh, located in Finney Chapel and Fairchild Chapel respectively.

Once More...with Feeling

St. Barnabas Anglican Church

This beautiful organ was built by Casavant in 1897, then rebuilt in 1958 by Hill, Norman, and Beard.

Master's Recital

Austin, TX 2011

This is a Visser-Rowland organ, the largest tracker in America at the time it was built. It is housed at the Sarah and Ernest Butler School of Music at the University of Texas at Austin, in Bates Recital Hall.

An Easter Celebration:
Musical Reflections on the Life of Christ

Austin, TX 2012

This is my first of four DMA recitals. The date of the recital was Easter Sunday, hence the title and choice of pieces. The program is here.

Wedding Music

I will be uploading pipe organ wedding favorites in this section. My goal is to make this a resource for anyone seeking to find their favorites, or perhaps to make a few new favorites.

If I brush up my techie chops enough, the format of this page will be an interactive wedding music design page where you can create and listen to your ideal wedding music program. If you would like to be notified when this project is updated/complete please submit your information in the Contact Me page.

In the meantime, I will simply create the list of compositions, which itself is still growing. Titles will be replaced with recordings as time permits me to record them. If there are any pieces you would like to see added, or recorded soon, please let me know.

Accompanying

One of the great opportunities that music presents is the chance to collaborate with other musicians. While this is something orchestral musicians are accustomed to, and may even take for granted, it is a refreshing musical endeavor for organists, pianists, and several other solo instrumentalists.

I enjoy collaborating and accompanying on different instruments, in different settings. Some of my recent playing has included music for:
