Early 20th-century French composer Erik Satie was an under-appreciated genius in his time. He is best-known for his piano character pieces, such as the early Gymnopedies, and later Sports et Divertissiments. The Western Oregon Symphony will debut a new arrangement by me of three of his piano works. This concert will include a preview of the first movement, based on a manuscript unpublished in Satie's lifetime.

NEW: Mid-Willamette Valley Resources Page

I want to share a new resource I've created: a list of local music and arts-related organizations in the Salem area. So far I've found a nice variety of types of groups and places involving music and other arts. Please come visit my resources page and let me know if you have any suggestions or updates!
