It was cold, but it sure felt good to get out on the lake! #farmislandlake
Last night was simply stunning. #lakelife #onlyinminnesota #farmislandlake #paddleboat #junkyardbrewing
I usually travel a lot in April. Obviously not this year...While I miss it, I’m enjoying the changing seasons at home. #onlyinminnesota

When your daughter hijacks your phone...

Another day, sheltering-in-place...Ironically, Anna becomes more mobile by the hour! #stayhome
Great beer and better friends!
I’m a bit late, but thank you to Shawn Vondran and the Northwestern University Symphonic Band for such a sensitive and moving performance of In the Open Air, In the Silent Lines at NC CBDNA. I’m continually amazed at your artistry! #cbdna #intheopenairinthesilentlines
Jason and Melissa, I’m not sure that I’ll ever find the right words to properly convey my thoughts about this collaboration. Thank you for the friendship, and for finding the perfect poem for the work. Jason, I particularly enjoyed flipping through your score on the podium and finding all of the text written in. And the performance was simply stunning, each line handled with such care. I could not be more proud of you.
And Melissa, thank you for sharing your emotions about Evelyn so openly. I felt her presence throughout the entire writing process, and certainly during the performance. You taught me that it’s alright to talk about her, and in fact, many parents that lose a child want to do just that.
I’m a better person for knowing both of you, and I’m grateful for our friendship. I look forward to the choir premiere in April! #andsingsthetune
“It is six A.M., and I am working. I am absentminded, reckless, heedless of social obligations, etc. It is as it must be. The tire goes flat, the tooth falls out, there will be a hundred meals without mustard. The poem gets written. I have wrestled with the angel and I am stained with light and I have no shame. Neither do I have guilt.” —Mary Oliver, “Of Power and Time.” •••
Stained With Light’s first-ever performance: check. Thank you for sharing your art with @mizzoumusic, Aaron!

Thankful I got to document some memories of your time here; thankful for our opportunity to premiere this piece; thankful for composers like you who keep our art lively and well. Until next time! -Piper @piperismee 🤘🏼 #Mizzou #COMO #chandelierchimes
Last rehearsal before the premiere of my new piece tonight— “Stained With Light”— commissioned for the MU Wind Ensemble. Exciting stuff! #COMO #Mizzou #premiere
