I think music should be beautiful on multiple levels. It should not only be accessible and pleasant to hear, but should also contain deeper meaning—secrets contained within which may not be obvious at first listening. I write for real, classical instruments because I love the individual element that a musician can add to a performance.

Seven movements, seven voices, inspired by the seven-book Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling. For Soprano, Alto, Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass, and Piano.

Stay tuned for recordings.
