Where Joy Leaves a Shadow Oklahoma Youth Winds · Dr. Matthew Mailman, conductor Written during my residency with the Oklahoma Youth Orchestras, this work inhabits the fragile boundary between celebration and remembrance, where even joy can leave an echo behind.
The Sound of What Remains Created with Antonio Gallegos · OCU Symphony Orchestra A collaborative work centered on memory, disappearance, and what survives after a moment has passed.
Auspicious UCO Wind Symphony · Ryan Holcomb, conductor A work shaped by movement, color, anticipation, and the feeling of standing at the edge of something about to begin.
