Some of the music is quite road-tested, and some is more recent. But they reflect my
love for the orchestra and its players with their distinctive sound and execution
which is nothing short of, well, Olympian.

We played this music quite often over the years in concert. The most recent piece
was a commission called “Bright Lights and Jubilations,” which was recorded live at
a concert in Amsterdam immediately following the pandemic. You can hear how
excited we all were to be back together again in front of an audience.

What projects are you currently pursuing, if that’s not too large a question?

I am finishing up a project with the National Symphony for a Leonard Cohen tribute
at the Kennedy Center, then heading out for a “Jazz on Film” project with the
Gothenburg Symphony and Joe Lovano.

I am heading to Köln in May to work with the WDR Big Band as part of my composer-
in-residency. I’m still working on that music! They will no doubt be reading from wet
ink. It’s more romantic.
