Glad Soaring Bird 

FEB 18, 2023
I just completed a new choral work, "Glad Soaring Bird," a commission for Capital High School Choirs ensemble "Volare". It will premiere at their upcoming appearance at NAfME "All-NW" conference (February 18, 2023), under the direction of Joie Cariaga. The piece is scored for SATB choir and piano, with a theme of reaching boldy for your dreams with joy and trust.
