I am thrilled to announce that I was recently accepted into the ranks of the American Composers Alliance, which is a publishing entity of American music. Although I am also represented by Subito Music and distributed through JW Pepper and SheetMusicPlus (a Hal Leonard Company), I will ultimately give control of several of my larger works to ACA, particularly my orchestral scores, certain chamber works, and my opera.

The Bird Lady (2017-2021)

An eccentric young woman known as the Bird Lady lives a life of timeless simplicity in a well-tended garden with only her equally eccentric gardener for human company — until a brash young man determined to build his dream home buys the adjoining lot. When the Bird Lady and her new neighbor clash over the felling of a tree planted squarely on the property line, sparks fly.


Libretto by Germaine Shames

Additional Text by Linda Marcus & Julie I. Meyers
