MESSAGE TO COMPOSERS

    Greetings, composers. I'd be interested in receiving from you any piano solo music you have composed. Although I am not exclusively a contemporary music specialist, I program a fair amount of new music, and I would be happy to consider any music you send me (address below) for programming on my future concerts.

    Information on my recordings is available through Ursa Minor Records, and I am working on a home page that should be up and running in January 1997. I can also send you testimonials and other information about myself upon request.

    I am contemplating offering a professional service to composers to provide them with a decent quality recording of a new piece of music for their use in applications and perhaps to show to other musicians (but not for commercial release). Let me know if this would be of interest to you.

     Here's a sampling of 20th century music I have programmed over the years:
