🎻 Announcing My First Orchestral Concert + Conducting in Vienna!


It’s been a little while since I last reached out — and I’m excited to reconnect with you today. 🌿

In my last message, I shared about the launch of my new Patreon community. Over the past couple of months, it’s become a deeply nourishing space for me — a place where I can authentically share my musical journey, celebrate small moments, and create without overthinking.

Going forward, I’ll be using this newsletter to send you a once-a-month highlight reel — sharing key moments and reflections from my creative path.

If you’d like to experience more of the real-time unfolding — from first drafts of new compositions to personal reflections, videos, and behind-the-scenes glimpses — I’d love to have you join my community. (You can join for free or choose to support monthly if you’d like.)

Here are some highlights from the past couple of months:


🎟️ Debut Orchestral Concert Announced

This is big: I’ve officially booked my first full orchestral concert!

📅 March 21, 2026 at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, UK. (It will also be livestreamed for those who can’t attend in person.)

The evening will feature a 65-piece orchestra performing my works, plus special moments of connection — breaking down musical themes, isolating sections of the orchestra, and sharing the way music flows through me.

I’m excited… and, honestly, a little overwhelmed too. 😬


🎻 Conducting an Orchestra in Vienna

I’m thrilled to share that I was accepted as an active participant at the Hollywood Music Workshop this summer!

This July, I’ll travel to Vienna to study with Conrad Pope — legendary orchestrator for John Williams (Star Wars, Harry Potter, and more).

I’ll also have 50 minutes to conduct and record a 60-piece orchestra performing one of my compositions.

A dream come true. ✨


🎶 Hero’s Journey — New Composition & Storyboards

video preview

I’ve been working on a new piece called Hero’s Journey — a musical exploration of personal transformation.

The orchestration is complete, and the orchestral programming (creating a lifelike mockup) is nearly finished.

I’ve also collaborated with a storyboard artist to bring a visual storyline to life, with the aim of turning it into a full animation.

🎵 New Songs and Meditations

Several new pieces of music and meditations have flowed through recently.

Here’s one I’d love to share with you:

🎧 Secret Life of Dewdrops

This solo piano piece begins simply and sparsely, and by the end, moves with a quiet, hopeful energy.

The full collection is available on Patreon if you’d like to listen more deeply.


🌟 Reflection: Trusting the Unknown

Through all these milestones, I’ve also faced my doubts:

Am I really the one to do this? Is this possible?

I shared a video recently about walking through those feelings — about recognizing that fear is part of any meaningful journey.

If you’re standing at the edge of something unknown too, maybe it will resonate with you.


If you’d like to follow the journey more closely — with weekly updates, music, videos, and reflections — you’re warmly invited to join me on Patreon.

You can join for free, or choose a monthly contribution if you feel called.

Here’s what’s coming soon inside the Patreon community:

🎵 Hero’s Journey — final audio, storyboards & animatic

🎬 Possible behind-the-scenes from a recording session

🎻 New compositions and orchestrations

🎙️ Conversation with fellow composer Zach Heyde about the creative process

🌟 Insights into the shaping of the Cinematic Heart concert

✨ Plus whatever other creative mysteries arise along the way!

Otherwise, I’ll continue to send you these monthly check-ins to stay connected.

Thank you for being here — your presence and support mean so much. 🌿

I’m excited to announce that I launched my Patreon today! 🚀 Going forward, this is where I’ll share everything that's happening in my musical world.

I look forward to cultivating this intimate community...

I'm really excited to share my latest composition "Take Flight" with you! "Take Flight" on Spotify, Apple, etc I'm grateful to the amazing team of artists I had the pleasure to work with bringing this piece to life. 🎼 Dom Sewell did the orchestration/arranging. As a comparison, take a listen to my original synth mockup and you'll hear the energy and excitement that Dom brought to the piece (download the score to follow along). 🎺🎻 Simon Passmore did the orchestral programming. If you can...

Solfeggio Frequency Singing & Piano [New Music] View on the web → Hi Reader, A couple days ago I was listening to music at the 528 Hz solfeggio frequency. It put me in an relaxed state and I naturally found myself singing along. I hit record and captured whatever came out in the flow of the moment. I'm a little shy to share this as it's raw and not "perfect" 🙈 I'm also excited to share it because it was a special moment of presence that brought me peace. 🎧 528 Hz Inviting Miracles musings on...
