I’ve recently started playing with the Gold Coast Chamber Orchestra (GCCO) (QLD, Australia). Check out their Facebook page. I’m absolutely loving it, as it brings me back to my origins in classical music when I played with the Australian Chamber Orchestra (ACO) in its inception years.

I’ve also been writing a lot more music these days since getting a publishing deal with Wirripang, the home of Australian Composers. Much of it is art music, but I’ve also started writing more music for student string orchestras.

I continue to teach, which I love, but I’m probably overdoing it with over 100 students(!), both at a school where I work (Hillcrest Christian College) and at my home studio.

I continue to have thoughts about a new album. It’s certainly on my radar, but I’m so busy with other things that it keeps getting pushed to the background.

I also continue to think about new performance opportunities after the years of lull after COVID. I’ve been thinking how to incorporate this with the Gold Coast Chamber Orchestra that I mentioned above. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, I continue my literary efforts, a new book almost to the point of completion. Announcement shortly!

So, that’s where I am now. Thanks for reading!
