P.R.I.D.E., each letter is it’s own movement. This piece is simply an original compilation of “vibes”, dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community. 🏳️‍🌈✊🏾 While composing, I listened to artists such as Frank Ocean, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Sam Smith and many other allies and members of the community for inspiration. You may hear some of their musical influence throughout.

Thanks to Trio di Velluto for their commission and wonderful performance of my piece. I was honored to compose for your group!
