UNACCOMPANIED SOLO SERIES

In order to give musicians something new to play during this uncertain time in which ensembles are unable to rehearse and perform, I offered in the spring of 2020 to write unaccompanied solos for various instruments/voices as "mini-commissions".

 

I was absolutely blown away by the response to my project, which ultimately grew to include more than thirty new pieces of music for various instruments!
