Welcome

And thank you for visiting!

I compose original music for a wide range of ensembles, from orchestral to choral, for schools, concert stage, media, and beyond. In addition to composition and orchestration, I work to expand the possibilities of what music can do through community engagement, as well as what music can be through advocacy around representation and inclusion. Explore my story and work here, learn more about working together here, and contact me directly at jabcomposer[at]gmail.com.
