Classical chamber music circles regularly exclude singers, as if we don't belong in those circles or rep with voices isn't "real" chamber music.
It's time for that to end.

It's so frustrating, because I think many of us would like to attend to get all the info and be able to support our students to our very best abilities- but it isn't right to expect us to do so without compensation.

If you want Adjunct faculty to come to a meeting, you need to pay us for that time.
We aren't salaried.
That meeting isn't part of my compensation. It costs extra.

A friend said, facts speak to our minds, but art speaks to our hearts. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the facts of climate change, to dissociate, and to freeze. When we feel something, it can propel action. Let’s keep feeling and acting together.

A few years ago, I debated the purpose of writing music about the climate crisis. Surely anyone who performs such a piece or listens to it already believes that climate change is real, so what impact can such a piece of music have?

I'm honored to be commissioned by Oregon Music Teachers Association as their 2025 Composer of the Year.

The commission, Love in a Time of Climate Change, is a piece about living in a time of an unprecedented, human-created global emergency.
