I’m thrilled to announce that the fantastic Seattle-area chorus, The Esoterics, have named me the winner of their POLYPHONOS Composition Competition for the 2014 season! I’ll be writing a new piece for them to be premiered in October 2014 in Seattle, not far from my old haunts in Tacoma (Go Loggers!). To find out more about this amazing group of musicians, visit http://www.theesoterics.org. You can also check out the press release here. A huge thanks to the judges, Esoterics director Eric Banks, and the group – can’t wait to work with everyone!
