I suppose I could have made this post months ago, but my luck is not quite that of the Irish and so I wanted to wait until things were as official as they could be.

So, I am officially a graduate student in the percussion studio at Michigan State University. I’ve moved to Michigan (“The Great White North” according to some of the Floridians I left behind) and am incredibly excited for what is ahead of me.

I’ll be trying to make more use of this blog by documenting my various musical/educational/any remotely interesting endeavors.

Senior Recital

My time at UCF is drawing to a close and my senior recital is quickly approaching! I hope to see you there!

Saturday, April 7th, 2012 at 4pm in the UCF Rehearsal Hall

Program:
Saeta, Eight Pieces for Four Timpani- Carter
Rebonds B- Xenakis
Nancy- Sejourne
Concerto for Vibraphone and Percussion Ensemble- Daughtrey
-Intermission-
Watermelon Man- Hancock
So what- Davis

Today is the second day of an event to celebrate the collaboration of percussion and music composition. Intended for composers and percussionists alike, the festival includes three concerts featuring the Furman University Percussion Ensemble, high school percussion groups from around Central Florida, the Central Florida Composers Forum, and the UCF Percussion Ensemble.

On tonight’s final concert I will be premiering a duo with  fellow percussionist here at UCF, Matt Roberts. The duo Providence for marimba and vibraphone was written by student composer, Brandon Miller. This is shaping up to be an exciting weekend. Many thanks go out to all those who have helped to make it such a success.
