I’m presently preparing myself for a holiday visit to Belize, where I hope to do some scuba diving at one of the world’s largest coral reefs! Rebecca, Naomi, and I will all be there from Dec. 6 – 20. In the meantime, I’m working on a large orchestral work to be premiered by the Round Rock Symphony under the baton of Silas Huff, on Saturday April 4, 2009. Later that month, on April 24, I have the great pleasure to work with the superb Flutist Christine Perea of the Lost Dog New Music Ensemble. I’m still working on both pieces, and I’ll have more info about the premieres as the time draws near.

I also have a few more irons in the fire, and I’ll blog about those projects in the new year. For now, happy hannukah, merry christmas, or whatever you happen to celebrate at this time of year.
