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?
