David Farrell and I wrote an article about composer commission pay for NewMusicBox. Check it out! https://nmbx.newmusicusa.org/composer-commission-pay-in-the-united-states/

Composer Commission Pay in the United States

How much should composers get paid for commissions? As composers ourselves, we recently set out to find the answer. We were motivated not only by our curiosity, but also by our desire to know what is fair and equitable.

Today at 3:30 Mountain. Join us! An international line-up including some really great performers. I am part of a set of Variations on Ode to Joy playing piano; at one point my track ends up as a layer on a Hip Hop variation by Stiles FOETTFU. Yay for collaboration! Join the YouTube link below for the live show.

Very happy to say that Donald Bousted has released his new CD, including two of my works for classical ukulele: the Five Etudes and Four Moods. He has also written some very kind words about the pieces: "A year later I discovered the recent publication of Loretta K Notareschi’s ‘Five Etudes’ and purchased them immediately. I was blown away. I loved the fact that she had taken this instrument, not losing sight of its beautiful beginnings, into a completely different dimension; musically, spiritually and intellectually." Thank you, Donald!
