Choral Music
Sunday Brunch (2024)
Sunday Brunch is written for SATB Chorus, Soloist, and Piano. This performance in Harvard's Paine Hall features Ensemble Veritas (2024), Sylvia Leith as the Soloist with pianist Andrew Courtney. The set of premieres were conducted by Professor Andrew Clark.
This quasi-operatic choral drama asks us the question: what is polite society? Do we miss something by adhering to the rules of social engagement, by looking only at the superficial. And most importantly, do we understand the relationship of what we say out loud to what we say behind people's backs?

Don't Touch the Walls (2023)
Don't Touch the Walls is written for SATB + Piano. This stunning recording in Harvard University's Paine Hall was created in partnership with the grammy-nominated choir The Crossing, conducted by world-renowned Donald Nally. Andrew Courtney is featured on piano. This piece is the winner of the 2023 Francis Boott Prize in Composition.
This piece asks us, as we grow up and form our own paths, should we really listen to advice? How much of advice relies on people's regrets versus their successes? And how much of advice aims to keep us trapped into some superficial path toward emptiness?

Grey Skies (2022)
Grey Skies is written for SATB + Piano. This performance is by Ensemble Veritas, conducted by Dr. Andrew Clark with pianist Justin Blackwell. Recorded at Harvard University. Grey Skies was the winner of the 2022 Francis Boott Prize in Composition.
This piece emerged from the simple act of people-watching. When we step outside ourselves and view our own lives through the lens of others, it can often feel daunting or hopeless, but how much of that is in our head? We can't live in fear of being seen or expressing ourselves; we must push on to the blue skies ahead.

Cycles (2021)
Cycles is written for SSA + Piano. This performance by the Radcliffe Choral Society in Sanders Theatre (Harvard University) was conducted by Maragaret Weckworth with pianist Justin Blackwell.
Cycles asks us if we can break free from a cycle of violence and hate toward a more utopian world. How can we take that perfect, childlike world in our head and embody it in our lives?
