\u201cThe most mysterious and probably most affecting of the three works was <\/em>Mabel’s Call,\u00a0an opera whose trio of excerpts were so subtle and arresting they exemplified a sort of waking-dream feeling [the] characters each seemed to be lost in…the composer most called to mind was Ives.<\/em>\u201d\u009d\u00a0<\/strong>,THE COLUMN<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpts from my chamber opera\u00a0Mabel’s Call<\/em>\u00a0were beautifully performed\u00a0last month\u00a0on Fort Worth Opera’s Frontiers showcase. An aria and two scenes were given a piano-vocal reading in a showcase of new operas.<\/p>\n

The performance received some lovely press: in addition to a glowing review in THE COLUMN<\/a>,\u00a0I was interviewed for a preview\u00a0article in\u00a0The Fort Worth Star-Telegram<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

It was a great honor to have my work\u00a0featured on this platform,\u00a0to share the stage with highly accomplished artists, and to receive feedback from a jury of opera professionals, as part of this project’s development!<\/p>\n
