I am excited to announce a new consortium opportunity for members of the trumpet community.  This will be my first solo work for trumpet, and I am anxious to explore the tremendous range of character and virtuosity of the instrument. As this July marks the fiftieth anniversary of Apollo 11, the work will draw on the wonder of space exploration and the many depictions of the moon in art and literature.
