Seriously though: I LOVE Dorico. I can't say enough great things about it. It's revolutionized my creative process. Full roster here: www.steinberg.net/stories/arti...

Those who work with me know that I'm a *huge* fan of the notation software #Dorico, and that I'm constantly singing its praises. Well apparently the news got to Steinberg because they've invited me to join their artist endorsement roster. #composer

Humbled and flattered that the listeners of ‪ClassicFM have voted two of my works into the 2026 ClassicFM Hall of Fame, the largest annual poll of classical radio listener's favorite music. 'The Lost Birds' with ‪VOCES8 at 19, and my ‪Civilization‬ themes at 165.

Out now! 'Aether & Iron', a new narrative RPG by Seismic Squirrel set in an alt reality 1930s New York. I co-composed the score with my collaborator Alex Williamson--a blend of Romantic classical and noir jazz. Give a listen to the main theme "A City of Aether & Iron" everywhere music is heard.

...the recording cast of Christine Goerke, Clay Hilley, the English National Opera Chorus and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra; producers Sean Patrick Flahaven and Timothy Hsia; and all the donors who made the record possible. Very grateful to Kevin Ng for interviewing us as well.

... as well as all the other brilliant collaborators on both the original WNO production and recording: librettist Susan Soon He Stanton, the original cast of Ewa Plonka, Yonghoon Lee and conductor Speranza Scappucci...

In the studio with producers Sean Patrick Flahaven and Timothy Hsia! We had a chance to catch up between takes at Abbey Road Studios back in June, during recording sessions for "Turandot: Christopher Tin Finale". Commissioned by Washington National Opera with a libretto by Susan Soon He Stanton.

We finally met! Bravo and congratulations on your two silver medals Yuma. And Carolina, it was wonderful to see you again. What a thrilling year it's been!

What a roller coaster ride that was. Congratulations Yuma, on your silver medal!

Yuma takes to the ice in a few hours. Go Yuma!

WNO is a terrific opera company with a visionary director that champions new talent in the opera world. They've recently left their home at The Kennedy Center and are in a transitional phase, so #SupportWNO... and who knows? Maybe you'll see another opera of mine there sometime soon. ;)

That led to a premiere at the Kennedy Center, which then led to a deep, year-long collaboration with some figure skating royalty: Lori Nichol and Carolina Kostner.

The Washington National Opera will have a starring role at the Olympics Japan’s Yuma Kagiyama, rival to Ilia Malinin, will perform his free skate to an arrangement of “Turandot” that was originally commissioned by the WNO.

It all started with a commission from Washington National Opera! Terrific article in the Washington Post about Yuma Kagiyama's free skate music, and how it all started when Francesca Zambello asked Susan Soon He Stanton and me to write a new ending to Turandot.

... at the Kennedy Center in May 2024. Directed by Francesca Zambello, with a libretto by Susan Soon He Stanton.

The recording features Christine Goerke, Clay Hilley, the English National Opera Chorus, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Christopher Tin.

Giacomo Puccini's final opera was left unfinished at the time of his death in 1924, and over the last century a handful of composers have received commissions to compose an ending to it. Christopher Tin's finale to Turandot was commissioned by Washington National Opera, and debuted...

I had a chance to sit down with Lori Nichol (choreographer) and Carolina Kostner (coach) after the recording sessions at Abbey Road, for a casual conversation about our collaboration on Yuma Kagiyama's free skate routine for the 2025-2026 season. Check out the full video! youtu.be/lB9yF2HdxHY

Tomorrow, Yuma Kagiyama takes the stage. Could not be more excited! #TeamYuma

Ciao da Milano! First on the agenda: my pilgrimage to La Scala, legendary opera house where Turandot was first premiered 100 years ago. Considered seeing a performance, but didn't think my 7 year-old would be willing to sit through Götterdämmerung. 🤣
