Yesterday I performed a concert at The University of Iowa Hospitals. Expect a video blog to find its way onto the internet sometime this weekend. Plus, there are some exciting events planned for the near future:

Next week I'll be posting an online concert where I'll perform new works by Brian Van Winkle, Casey Cangelosi, and Brett Paschal.

Also this weekend will be the triumphant return of the Blog! I am terrible at keeping up with the blog, but I'm going to make a more concerned effort.

Finally, I will be performing a solo recital on April 21st in Burlington, IA. I'll be performing at the Arts for the Living Center in conjunction with their current art exhibition: 30 Under 30. The exhibition consists of 30 pieces by artists under the age of 30. For my concert, I will be performing works that have been written within the last 30 years. Plus, I will be premiering a new work by Brian Van Winkle.

It took some long hours, and some wrestling with my computer, but the first of my new video blog series is online! It is an example, and advertisement for my assembly title, "The Origins of the Marimba."
You can view it on the Video Page of this website.

As promised, I have finally loaded a PDF version of my official press packet for assemblies to the website! I am hoping that this form of advertising will be a route I can explore, rather than wasting paper.
