Ok, yeah… the food too 😍

My first completed piece ever was premiered here by our full ensemble (2 violins, viola, clarinet, saxophone, and piano solo). It was an indescribable experience to hear my music brought to LIFE with such incredible energy - but more than anything, I will remeber the beautiful, generous people.

Brazil tour, August 2025 🇧🇷 a privilege to perform here one last time at the stunning Capela Santa Maria in Curitiba with so many wonderful artists and collaborators. I couldn’t even tell you how many pieces we premiered and student works we were able to workshop and improvise.

Brazil tour packing level ✨wizard✨ bass & clarinet + all the gear… in one case 🎩🐰 #clarinet #magic #houdini

turning out new music premieres in Brazil like it’s going out of style 🇧🇷 #saopaulo

Argentine composer Emiliano Revert wrote an incredible piece for clarinet and piano, Stowaway, about a little boy who ends up on a cargo ship set to explore the world. Now we are taking this one on tour across Brazil! Absolutely love this work and cannot wait to share it in beautiful 🇧🇷

We did the whole series - air, breathing, embouchure, staccato, listening to the greats, masterclasses, and even extended techniques. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you to all the incredible music educatos in this region who make this possible!

South Carolina Excellence! These young artists inspire ME! What a privilege to work with this incredible army of excited clarinetists in upstate this week for Byrnes Masterclass Days #buffetcrampon

I’m honored to join the Recording Academy 2025 New Member Class, an inspiring global community of creators and professionals who are shaping the future of music. I’m excited to contribute my perspective and help champion musical excellence around the world. #IAmTheAcademy

Thanks for having us beautiful Southport, North Carolina!

While they vote for their own raises and tax cuts!?

By the way they also decided these health care rejection letters will go out in 2027 to make sure it wont affect their midterms. Amplify this.

Our educators deserve to survive in this country.

How do we celebrate America’s birthday tomorrow when just today Republicans decided that our lowest earning essential workers not only deserve to continue living in poverty, but now they don’t even deserve food or basic health care either? In the richest country on Earth!?

About 43% of early childhood educator families working in daycares, preschools, etc. use public assistance (like SNAP and Medicaid). That’s almost half of those professionals, who often earn only around $13/hour, relying on Medicaid just to cover basic needs.

Live from Yale this weekend! New music by Armando Bayolo “Cancionero de Luto” with the Yale Choral Artists - and here is my favorite excerpt from Johanny Navarro’s “Belén: Un Canto Sagrado a Mis Ancestros” what a privilege to perform this incredible new music in this beautiful hall!

Music is our way out of this mess. It teaches us how to collaborate and share with people who are different than us. And to truly connect. I am so grateful for these experiences.

I even learned how to drum and dance bomba from the great masters 🇵🇷 Bomba De Aqui. Information I could have never had the privilege to access otherwise, shared with us so openly, generously, and trustingly.

I learn new things every year - yes, how to play the clarinet in new ways that always challenge and humble me, but so much more than that; I’ve connected with so many different people from all over the world who have shared their culture, rhythms, and sounds with us.

Many of these commissions have spun off into other projects, commissions, and even my debut album this past year. This has been the most challenging but rewarding experience of my life.

Victory Players Chamber Orchestra: Season 8… It’s hard to keep track but I think we have commissioned and premiered almost 50 new works since 2018 - new works that share new stories that were not always welcome in the country club we call "classical music."
