Commissioning by Performers and Ensembles
Performers! Directors! Looking for new music from an experienced, highly collaborative, non-flaky composer? Contact me.
Commissioning by Individuals
I love to write music for specific people and a specific purpose. Like a carpenter loves to build a dining room table that will host a million meals. Like an artist loves to paint a picture that will hang over the mantle for decades. I want to make music that will be special, important, or just plain useful for someone.
That someone could be you.
Ever thought about commissioning music? It’s really no different from buying that handmade table, or that piece of art you love, and it will probably cost about the same.
Commissioned music can be incredibly special in a particular moment, but it will also endure until kingdom come. Your commission can include a performance and/or a recording; you can make copies of that recording and give them to your friends and family; you can invite them to that performance. Your very own piece of music will not fall apart or fade in the sunlight; you can listen to for as long as you like, as many times as you like—as can your kids, grandkids, and on down the line.
