So excited to have had a world premiere this morning as part of @lfccm: @of_redeemer's choir performing my MISSA OMNIUM SANCTORUM, originally written in 2015 for @AllSaints_YEG. Thank you to these wonderful singers for bringing this little mass setting to life! ❤️
Wonderful flowing phrases that amplify the test of the liturgy. London Festival of Contemporary Church Music @lfccm lfccm.com @beatchmusic

Londoners: get your tickets for this unique choral experience - and hear my own piece, GIRL HOURS, getting another performance from this incredible choir. I'm on the wrong side of the world, so you need to go see it for me! ❤

So happy to speak with my friend @HeidiAtter about my queer love songs, HE OPENS! This music speaks to my lived experience—and I know it’s just as meaningful to other queer folks as well. #queermusic #newmusic #queercomposer #queerarts
