about

The Orbora Tree Suite is a sonic exploration of the life and thoughts of trees. Two texts inspired me – Below the Root, by Zilpha Keatley Snyder, and The Overstory by Richard Powers.

Thanks to those who came out to see the show that night, to those who support, nurture, and encourage our creative music at all times, and especially the members of the septet for going out on a limb with me and exploring far into the thin, wobbly branches.
