Looking Forward: Fall 2018

As I began the long journey back after another summer at the Bach Cantata Academy in Weimar with my wife, Shannon, I was heading to a new school, new engagements, and new colleagues to learn from and to interact with. Upon arrival I was already preparing for my first performance with the BBCP (event details here) to be performed the Sunday after the second week of classes.

In my church work, I accepted a post at Christ Church Cathedral on Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis. The responsibilities include weekly Evensong services on Thursdays and singing for the weekly Sunday Eucharist, among other concerts and special events (found under my engagements). Before this particular post begins, I sang at First Presbyterian Church in Bloomington where I met Grant Farmer, DMA (Choral Conducting) candidate at IU. He will use me as soloist for In Ecclesiis by Gabrieli in a concert for choir and orchestra.

As part of joining the HPI at the Jacobs School of Music, I have become a part of Concentus, the instrumental-vocal consort. This semester will feature performances of Medieval Masterworks (Oct 13), French chansons and Italian frottole (Nov 10), and the Schütz Weihnachtshistorie (Dec 7). The performance of Schütz will be my first singing of a Christmas Evangelist as the tenor concertist.
