I am thrilled to announce that I successfully defended my dissertation at UCLA, and have completed the Ph.D. 2020 begins with a Music Technology course at Mt. St. Mary’s University, and the Pacific Opera Project double-bill of Gianni Schicci and L'enfant et les sortilèges.
If you’d like to hear what I’ve been up to in the second half of December, check out the livestream of the St. John’s Cathedral Christmas Eve Mass. The choir, orchestra, and soloists were wonderful. Music includes Finzi’s In terra pax, carols by Rutter and Gardner, Haydn’s Mass in B-flat, and the full complement of Willcocks descants! You can hear my closing voluntary, In dulci jubilo, BWV 729, by J.S. Bach at the 2 hr 20 min mark.
