Welcome!

I’m thrilled to be sharing my work with you.

“Play Nice”

Performed by Wet Ink Ensemble and David Carlton Adams
Recorded live at its premier at the Peabody Institute

My three year old is teaching me all kinds of things: it’s good to really feel our feelings; we can always be growing; and notably, curiosity, excitement, and a willingness to experiment - even if it means allowing for mistakes - create ideal conditions for learning. How can we apply these lessons in our field? What conditions bring about a spirit of free play in expert performers? With these lessons and questions in mind, I present this piece!
