A little over a year ago, I had the privilege of hearing the Santa Ynez Valley Wind Ensemble perform for the first time. The experience was truly inspiring, so much so that I asked if they’d be open to playing an original composition of mine if I had it arranged and transcribed for them.

That idea led me to connect with the incredibly talented composer Davide Ratti from Italy. Together, we brought to life a piece I originally wrote for piano called "Serenity." Davide’s arrangement adds such depth and emotion to what was already a deeply sentimental composition for me.

Working with the ensemble and Davide has been an absolute pleasure, so much talent and creativity! I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to explore more projects in the future!
