From the composer…
I learned percussion from my uncle, William F. Ludwig, and I was a percussionist in my high school orchestra and the Chicago Businessman’s Orchestra. I earned an undergraduate degree from Yale University, then a master’s degree in music theory and composition from Northwestern University. I studied composition with Alan Stout at Northwestern, and then took private composition lessons with David McKay of Belmont University.
I have composed a number of works for piano, chamber ensembles, string orchestra, and full orchestra, but until now I have refrained from publishing any of my pieces. My music includes tonal and post tonal works, minimalist as well as traditional forms.
