This is just a quick update for friends, and so that I can keep track of all the stuff that’s happening myself. I’m a bit overwhelmed. I have so much gratitude for all of my musical friends who have believed in me and programmed my music. You guys are fabulous. Thank you so much!

The new Hebrew setting of Psalm 121 is being performed at the Nebraska Music Educators convention this weekend. I have also just learned that it will be performed in concerts in Seoul and several other cities in Korea as part of the World Choir Symposium by the University of Southern California. Thanks Mike Scheibe!
