Last month, my piece "Crepuscule" for mezzo-soprano and piano, a setting of E. E. Cummings' haunting poem of the same name, was premiered at the U of T Faculty of Music's November 2022 Student Composers' Concert by Maria Milenic (mezzo-soprano) and me (piano). This was an extremely challenging piece to execute, but Maria pulled it off effortlessly!
