National Parks showcase the geographic diversity of our nation and the beauty of Mother Earth.
Yosemite National Park
In tribute to these natural treasures—and to unite two of my greatest passions, choral music and the outdoors—I’ve embarked on an ambitious long-term endeavor: to compose a unique choral work inspired by each of the U.S. National Parks.
Grand Teton National Park
This journey will begin with a new set of compositions featured/premiered in an upcoming concert season with the Tucson Masterworks Chorale.
New River Gorge National Park & Preserve
Through this undertaking, I hope to create music that honors the grandeur and spirit of these treasured places.
Acadia National Park
While acknowledging that no composition can fully capture the vast beauty of Mother Nature, I believe her splendor and power demand to be celebrated through song.
Dry Tortugas National Park
My aim is not to replicate their majesty, but to honor and respect it, using music to evoke their strength and presence.
Badlands National Park
The theme of this endeavor resonates with millions who share a deep love and connection to our national parks.
Mt. Rainier National Park
These places belong to all of us, and through this journey, I hope to connect audiences to these landscapes in a meaningful way.
Saguaro National Park
Through choral music, we aim to honor the parks’ enduring presence and inspire others to see them with renewed reverence and care.
