Cascade - New Composition with mackxswell, performance in Chicago, score available and on sale!

mackxswell (my son Maxwell) and I are thrilled to be performing our new piece, Cascade, this Friday in Chicago at The Midwest Clinic & Festival, with the amazing Saratoga High School Percussion Ensemble (SHS), directed by Sean Clark and Chavadith Tantavirojn! SHS commissioned the piece over the summer, and we premiered it in November there to incredible enthusiasm.

Written for percussion soloist, percussion quintet, electronic audio, and optional electronic soloist, Cascade was inspired by our piece we created in 2020, Trap Hat, which I’ve been performing on my solo show, balance | flow. Sean and Chavy and the SHS students heard Trap Hat last November, and asked us to create something for them for this special performance.

We have had so much fun creating, rehearsing, and performing Cascade, and look forward to performing it Friday in Chicago, and then with the Portland Percussion Group in January in Portland and April in Ashland.

The score is now available for purchase and I’m offering a 20% discount on all my scores, in honor of The Midwest Clinic, through December 31!
