I'm following my symphonic dream and taking my "chamber symphony" to record at Piccolo Studio in Montreal.  I went fishing in a pool of incredible Montreal talent and created this ensemble:

Flutes  Billy Kerr, Nadia Sparrow
Clarinets Mark Simmons, Luc Jackman, Jennifer Bell
Tenor and Soprano Saxophone Joel Miller
Tenor Saxophone and clarinet Bruno Lamarche
Horn Jocelyn Veilleux
Trumpets Lex French, Bill Mahar
Trombone Dave Grott
Piano David Ryshpan
Acoustic and electric guitars Steve Raegele
Percussion Sacha Daoud, Erin Donovan, Kullak Viger Rojas
Drums Kevin Warren
Acoustic bass Fraser Hollins
Guest conductor Christine Jensen
Producer Engineer John Adams

I’ll conduct What You Can’t Stop and Deerhead Hoof,  both kind of epic fantasies that I created while completing a Master’s at McGill University, where I enjoyed studying with professor John Rea and conducting with Guillaume Bourgogne.  Internationally celebrated guest conductor Christine Jensen will lead the ensemble while I play soprano and tenor saxophones on my composition Song Story,  a rhapsody of three songs: 1. Gyre, 2. A Party, 3. Change of Scenery.  

The band is all set to rehearse in the next weeks and then go into Studio Piccolo at the beginning of November. Please join my efforts to make this happen.  Unstoppable will allow this long-time dream of mine to become a reality. The end result of this project will be to release a CD and Vinyl recording and launch it with a performance  in 2019.

Thank you!
