I am beyond thrilled to announce that ONE DEATH IN SEVEN DOORWAYS is the recipient of a 2025 Oregon Community Foundation Creative Heights Grant for $74,000. This large and validating award, designed to help artists create new innovations in their disciplines, and their career trajectories, will allow us to complete collaborative composing and premiere this unique, genre-defying work. Read the OCF announcement here. 

It has been a very busy year and I am excited to move forward with this momentum behind us. Thank you OCF! Thank you to everyone who donated and participated in getting this project through its proof-of-concept phase so that it could apply for and receive this level of funding. This opera has  so much to give the world, and I am thrilled it will have its chance to reach a broad audience. 

The grant is fiscally sponsored by the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, which has been a supporter of this opera since its inception. The Sitka Center will also be bringing some pre-production workshops to Oregon's coastal communities, sharing the opera with a part of Oregon dear to my heart.
