The North/South Consonance gave the successful premiere of my Sinfonietta in New York on February 6, 2011 and I’m still working on the premiere of my Mandolin Concerto with Avi Avital with target date of late 2011 in Berlin. December 2010 saw three performance of my solo cello work, Beara, by two different cellists in Chicago and New York. I'm extremely pleased to announce a commission from arguably the greatest recorder player in the world, Michala Petri, for a new concerto for recorder and orchestra, to be premiered in 2012 and with a recording to follow.

I’m also nearing completion of a new commission for the amazingly diverse Swedish ensemble,The Pearls Before Swine Experience. The new work is called Unintended Consequences and will be premiered in Sweden. I've also been commissioned by an interesting New York cello duo, 2VC, for a new work for that combination.
But perhaps the highlight of 2011 is the recording of several works of mine, solo piano, chamber and orchestral, each performed and recorded by some leading names and excellent proponents of my work. Recordings will take place in Princeton, New York and St. Petersburg.
