I have now composed a new version of "Tango Divertido". This version is for tuba and euphonium octet. The piece features four euphonium and four tuba parts with some other small updates from the original 2018 composition. This new version will be premiered in the Winter/Spring of 2021 by the tuba and euphonium studio at the Schwob School of Music at Columbus State University(CSU). This version was commissioned by CSU Director of Wind Ensemble Activities, Dr. Jamie Nix. The octet version of "Tango Divertido" will be made available for purchase after the premiere at CSU. Stay tuned. The original 2018 version for euphonium quartet is available to purchase from the "Works" page.

Katherine Bergman, Brandon Dicks, Zachary Friedland, Jennifer Rose, Onsby Rose, and myself will all be composing new works for band at the approximate grades of 1 and 2 and 2 minutes in length. All six works will hopefully be premiered in Fall 2021 by six different bands across the United States pending COVID safety. My work will be premiered by the Wildwood Middle/High School Band in Wildwood, Florida under the direction of Anthony Morris. For more information on the consortium and the composers involved check out the Announcement Letter attached below.
