I am thrilled to be participating in a concert at Sacramento State University honoring my mentor, Dan Kennedy, on his retirement. I am composing a new work honoring Dan, a trio titled Elevens for Dan Kennedy, to be performed by Bryan Jeffs, Tomm Roland, and myself. I’ll also coordinate performances of John Bergamo’s Shradhanjali (Thanks to the teacher) and Piru Bole, both pieces Dan introduced me to.
