104. July 2026 Updates

June was a busy and productive month for the four projects introduced in my last post. Here are the latest developments...

1. The Fire and the Rose - I completed the first draft of this three movement ballet piece, transforming a 22 page reduced score into a 56 page orchestral score. Now on to the next draft...

2. The Great Divide - I am focused like a laser on bringing this new piano piece up to speed with the intent to record, perform and submit it to dance companies and piano composing competitions.

3. 'Til The End of Time - I completed and copyrighted this new one act play which I feel has strong original and compelling elements, and is very friendly for tight production budgets. Please see the new synopsis on the Plays page. The next step is to start submitting it to theaters.

4. Concertpiece - Parma Recordings has postponed mastering until October and release until April 2027. This was not the news I was hoping for, but you have to roll with the punches.

5. Competition submissions: My musical Cleopatra's Tomb is entered in the Clauder Competition held by Portland Stage Company. I also have piano pieces entered in three piano composition competitions.

Thanks for stopping by!
