While Composer-in-Residence with the South Dakota Symphony I volunteered to make a chamber orchestra arrangement of “Amazing Grace” to accompany the Creekside Singers, a traditional drum group (four men singing in unison and together beating one large drum).  I wrote about the experience here.  My arrangement was first performed in March 2019 on a Lakota Music Project concert in Sioux Falls.  It’s back, scaled down to a nonet, on two concerts presented in Washington DC as part of Post Classical Ensemble’s Native American Influences festival.  Can’t wait to hear it again!
