Member, Salem (MA) Chamber of Commerce *** Singing String Music (Jim and Maggi Dalton)

I am a composer of music in many genres.
My influences range from European and American concert music and vernacular American music to the formal structures of non-Western music such as that of India, Indonesia, China, Japan and Korea.
