On 8 November 2009 two pieces of mine received their first performance at the Domkerk (Cathedral) in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The two pieces are a troparion and a kontakion for the Feast of St Willibrord. The texts, in Dutch, are the work of Archimandrite Adriaan Kaporaal.
St Willibrord was the first bishop of Utrecht and is patron saint of the Domkerk. The choir of the Domkerk was directed by Remco de Graas, the Cantor of the Domkerk.

Finnish recording
A CD recording of Orthodox church music by living composers has been issued.
Called "O King and Lord" (Finnish title "Oi Kuningas ja Herra"), it is sung by the Orthodox Choir of Joensuu University and conducted by Petri Nykänen.
I am represented by the piece "Turn not away Thy face", the Great Prokeimenon for Vespers on Forgiveness Sunday.
To hear this piece on MP3 (not the same recording as on the above-mentioned CD, but the same choir) visit:
