I’m incredibly excited to announce that I’m performing a senior recital this year!

This program contains some of my favorite pieces of music of all time, including some true bucket list solos and chamber pieces with some of my longest-time friends.

I would love to see you there! (Especially if your in college now and I haven’t see you since UNT camp or All-State)

🎤 Youth Praise Band! 🎤

How lucky are we to have such a talented youth praise band at Creekwood? They led contemporary worship this past Sunday (they do this every few months) and did such a phenomenal job! We are so thankful that they share their talents with us so often!
