CONSORTIUM OPPORTUNITY!

Join Us!

Duquesne University is spearheading a commission for an honest-to-goodness “Grade 2” band piece. I know I’ll eat my words if I say this will probably be the “easiest music” I may ever attempt to write, but that’s the goal! For more information or to register to join the consortium, please visit Duquesne’s website at the ‘Learn More’ link below.
