I’m so excited to announce that my chamber opera Jan Tait and the Bear is going to be a part of the Made in Scotland Showcase at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this summer! The cast includes Cath Backhouse as Jan Tait, Brian McBride as the tax collector, guard, king, and bear, and Alan McHugh as narrator, with Ensemble Thing, conducted by Tom Butler, directed by Stasi Schaeffer, and with costumes by Vicki Brown.

I’m just back from a wonderful week of rehearsals and a public workshop of my newest piece, Woodwings, with the Fifth Wind Quintet in Halifax, NS. They’ll be co-premiering it in September, along with Blythwood Winds, Ventos, Choros, and Mistral 5, in programs which include works by Cris Derksen, Carmen Braden, Daniel Janke, and Cameron Wilson, in five cities across Canada. But if you want to hear a preview of it, you can watch the workshop here!
