A little update on some upcoming events this fall and winter. The premiere of my new work for Septet the Eagle will take place on November 19 at De Bijloke in Ghent, Belgium during the Jazz&Sounds Festival. The piece will feature soprano Katrien Baerts (who is replacing Claron Mcfadden), pianist Aki Rissanen, myself on soprano saxophone and the Kryptos Quartet. Before the premiere there will be  a short duo performance with Aki Rissanen.
