It was an honor to serve as guest composer-in-residence at Indiana University, where I presented my Violin Concerto with the Indiana University New Music Ensemble and violinist Sang Mee Lee. The week included a composition seminar and several private lessons with IU students. It was an inspiring opportunity to exchange ideas with the next generation of composers and to witness my concerto come to life under the baton of the incomparable David Dzubay and members of this world class ensemble.
