Snare Drum Clinic: A Foundation for Practice: Snare Drum Fundamentals - Texas Music Educator's Convention, San Antonio, TX
In a Moss Garden: with Marty Regan and Yoko Reikano Kimura, Rothko Chapel; Houston, Texas
This program juxtaposed aspects of traditional Japanese musical aesthetics through the medium of newly composed works for Japanese instruments and percussion. The works on the program reflected several elements of Japanese culture including Zen Buddhism, haiku and tanka poetry, and the annual celebration of cherry blossoms. Hanami is the word for a long-practiced Japanese tradition of welcoming the cherry blossoms of in springtime. Communities often gather under blooming cherry blossom trees and ponder their evanescent beauty.
