16 Pianos in Surround Sound

* THURSDAY FEBRUARY 1ST

Ok, so I've done concerts for 2 pianos and 6 pianos but freaking 16?!!!  Needless to say I'm thrilled about this opportunity. I just finished composing the 40-minute 3-movement work and delivered it to the Drake Piano Program. I think it might be one of my strongest works to date. If you are in the Des Moines area you don't want to miss it!  Both concerts are free and open to the public.
