Beloveds,
I had the tremendous honor of composing and conducting a fistful of music for an event at The General Theological Seminary (
@thegeneralseminary ) (in tandem with
@virginiaseminary ) honoring Stephen Colbert (as in,
@colbertlateshow @stephenathome ) alongside new works by Nico Muhly (
@nicomuhly ) and a new set of Preces & Responses by Dr. Marty Wheeler Burnett (
@martywheelerburnett )
Pictured here: Mr. Colbert, Dr. Burnett, Elliot Yates (
@angelabassethound ) (my music assistant on the project), and myself.
For those of you interested in learning more, seeing more photos, and hearing some of the music, I wrote about the experience here on my Substack (😬🥴) which can access at the link in my bio.

Some thanks:
1) My partner-in-crime, Michael W. DeLashmutt (
@deandelashmutt ), Dean of Chapel, for the trust and confidence he brings to our working relationship.
2) Marty Burnett, for the lovely new pieces, and for being such a warm and supportive voice when she’s up from VTS.
3) Elliot, for being such a good friend in his actions and support over the past 14 years.
4) My fantastic band, comprising some of my favorite musicians.
5) Fritz Myers (
@fritzmyers ), for being so supportive in All Things, but also my audio/tech ignorance.
