What a great three days in South Carolina! Catharine Bushman was kind enough to commission a new piece for her Symphonic Band and Winthrop University and was able to arrange to have me come in as Composer-in-Residence for the trip.
I met with some some talented, young composers at Winthrop, each showing me something unique from each other.
I got to work with the Symphonic Band in rehearsals of Madden.
I got to meet some really interesting faculty not only in the composition department, but in several of the other departments, including conducting and performance.
Finally, I got try some of the local cuisine, including authentic southern grits and some famous Carolina-style BBQ.
