Projects

In addition to teaching and solo performing, I’m involved in several chamber and collaborative projects that fuel my creative energy and bring saxophone music to a wide range of audiences. Here’s a small glimpse of the musical spaces I’m grateful to be part of.

mirasol quartet

Formed in 2013 during our studies at Texas Tech, the Mirasol Quartet is a professional saxophone quartet dedicated to bold programming, educational outreach, and meaningful collaboration. Our performances often blend standard repertoire with new works and commissioned pieces, always aiming to connect deeply with audiences.

mirasol duo

The Mirasol Duo, featuring saxophonist Ben Still and me, is a natural evolution of the quartet, offering a more intimate chamber format. We’re currently focused on commissioning and recording new music for two saxophones, with a debut album on the horizon.

triptych trio

Triptych Trio brings together saxophone, violin, and piano for a dynamic, genre-blending sound. We explore repertoire that spans classical, contemporary, and cross-genre works, pushing boundaries while prioritizing musical storytelling.

musical theatre

I regularly perform in musical theatre productions as a woodwind doubler, which allows me to engage with a different kind of ensemble and audience. I love the versatility and challenge these shows bring.

commissions & Premieres

Commissioning new music is one of the most exciting parts of my work. I’ve been honored to collaborate with composers to bring new saxophone pieces to life, from solo works to chamber and large ensemble projects.
