We will be performing my latest composition for marimba orchestra:  Dream-Awakening and Dance.  This was premiered at Kutztown University in November of 2016, with Bob Becker and Yurika Kimura as soloists.  This performance will feature Gordon Stout and Matthew Coley as soloists.  It is my hope that a recording of this performance will happen and become available.
