September 25th
An orchestral work in seven movements, tracing a nation’s story from quiet discontent to hard-won victory. Each section of the orchestra carries a character — the people, the law, the voiceless, the witnesses. A score shaped by real events, written from inside them.
Live recording — 2015
Studio release available in 2026
Dilemma
A conversation at the edge of farewell — two voices, one mediator, and the slow unraveling of something that cannot be saved. Written for flute, violin, and piano.
A Time For Everything
A setting of Ecclesiastes 3, built around the quiet truth that every season has its place. Written for eight-part choir and piano.

Dear Friend
A farewell letter begun in 2015 and finally finished a decade later. Spare, intimate, and unhurried — the shape of something that took time to say.
How I work
I am a classically trained composer whose work explores narrative, voice, and emotional architecture. My background in concert and choral music informs a disciplined approach to storytelling, form, and texture. My work starts with a question: what does this moment need to feel true?
