Through his multiple artist and teaching residencies as well as guest composer appearances at international festivals, his music has maintained a presence on the world new music scene. An eclectic blending of serial and jazz influences from the middle 50 years of the 20th century, his music demands virtuosity as well as sensitive interpretation.
