"I'm happy and deeply honored to join the great Orchestra of the Americas as 2020 Composer in Residence. It will be such a thrill to work with these first rate musicians and to collaborate again with conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto towards performances of my works The Fall of Cuzco and Conga-Line in Hell. Join us for our first performances this June at Alfredo de Saint Malo International Music Festival in Panama. Concerts will include the world premiere of my new work jointly commissioned by Isaac Casal and the Festival"
