Commissioning New Works

Thank you for taking the time and expressing an interest in my work!

​

For me the creation of a new work is an act of collaboration and commissions are always a great way to do that! Working with professional ensembles and performers and community and educational ensembles alike are of great interest to me. In the case of the latter, I understand that not every educational program or community ensemble has the funding to pay the rates required for the commission of a new work. I believe that anyone should be able to commission a work and the amount of money that they are able to spend should not bar them from participating in the creation of new music. I will never set any fee that prohibits an individual or organization I respect from creating a work that supports a cause I wish to advance. I do have two requests in exchange for the creation of the new work. First, I would like the collaboration to be heard, so having at least one performance of the work planned (ensemble, venue, date, etc). Second, I would like to have a recording so I can share the work. This is not required to be a professional recording, but it should be of a high enough quality that I can share it publicly.

Starting the Conversation

If you're interested in discussing the possibility of commissioning me to write a new, original, work of music for you, your ensemble, or organization, please don't hesitate to contact me below! Please let me know who you and/or your organization are, what your concept for the piece is in as much detail as you'd like, details about the premiere performance and when you would need the score by. Depending on the amount of commissions I have at the time, I might not be able to immediately honor your request, but I would love to start the conversation with you. Please contact me using the form below. I usually respond within a few days. Serious requests only, please.
