I have had per­for­mances and com­mis­sions from ensem­bles in sev­eral coun­tries, includ­ing the Nieuw Ensem­ble, the Ensem­ble con­tem­po­rain de Mon­treal, the Nouvel ensem­ble mod­erne, the Uni­ver­sity of Alberta’s Acad­emy String Orches­tra, Tapes­try New Opera Works, Toca Loca, Con­tin­uum, the Knights Orches­tra, and the Arditti Quar­tet. My music has been per­formed in Canada, the USA, Cuba, the UK, Ger­many, and the Nether­lands. Radio broad­casts include CBC Radio 2, Radio-Canada’s Espace musique, and Toronto’s CIUT.

My music has been pre­sented in fes­ti­vals such as Amsterdam’s Gaudea­mus Music Week (my piece Cul­ture no.1 was selected for their 2006 com­pe­ti­tion), Toronto’s New Wave, soundaXis, and SHIFT fes­ti­vals; Aberdeen’s Sound Fes­ti­val; and New York’s MATA Fes­ti­val. I was addi­tion­ally selected as a rep­re­sen­ta­tive for Canada in the 2008 World Music Days in Lithua­nia. One of my solo pieces, Flüsse-Einflüsse, was chosen as a required exam piece for the grad­u­at­ing accor­dion stu­dents at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik – Trossin­gen in 2006. I have also received var­i­ous awards and grants, includ­ing four prizes in Canada’s SOCAN Awards for Young Com­posers (2004, 2004, 2006, 2008), a SOCAN res­i­dency grant, two grad­u­at­ing schol­ar­ships from U of T, as well as com­mis­sion­ing, travel, project, and study grants from the Canada Coun­cil for the Arts and the Alberta Foun­da­tion for the Arts.

Sec­ondly, I am pleased to announce that I was chosen to write a piece for the Arditti Quar­tet during their res­i­dency at UCSD in 2007. The Arditti are one of the most highly-regarded string quar­tets in con­tem­po­rary music and I am more than thrilled to be work­ing with them.
