New Album Release! 

This collection of songs is eclectic, and a good introduction to my range as a composer. Traditional art song (written to be sung in recital, typically with piano accompaniment and often set to a poem) is well represented, but I have also included pieces that would be comfortable in a jazz club or theater. Most of the lyricists/poets have Minnesota connections, and I have been honored to have collaborated with many of them. Learn more, listen, and purchase here.
