Performance

Universal Brotherhood for SATB has been selected by MacMillan Singers to be performed at their Contemporary showcase concert in Februray, 8th 2015.

Universal Brotherhood is written for SATB choir in three movements (For Love of Me, Reunion With Me, and Unity's Light). This a cappella choir work is written inspired by my visits to Baha'i House of Worship in Wilmette, IL. There are eighteen quotations of Baha'u'llah's writings integrated into the entrances and alcoves of the Baha'i House of Worship. Nine of these quotations have been set to music in this choir work.

Northern Connections is a concert celebrating the striking similarities and differences, between the countries of Canada and Finland. This concert brings together the work of Canadian and Finnish emerging composers and presents it to audiences in Toronto.

The concert will present works by Henri Sokka and Cecilia Damström from Finland. Joining these composers in concert are four works by emerging Toronto-based composers, Aiden Hartery, Tyler Versluis, Paolo Griffin and me as well as an ensemble of musicians from the Glenn Gould School of Music and the University of Toronto's Faculty of Music.

Please join us on March 14th, 2014 at 8:00 Pm in Array Space for this fantastic and very exciting concert that has been put together by a wonderful composer, Paolo Griffin!
