Glass Ceiling —2009

Glass Ceiling was composed for the West Chester University Wind Ensemble, led by Andrew Yozviak, Director of Bands at West Chester University. The premiere took place at the 2010 Pennsylvania Educators Association State Conference.

Program Note

Glass Ceiling was composed for conductor Andrew Yozviak and the West Chester University Wind Ensemble. The title refers to any invisible barrier that blocks a person from advancing “upward,” which to me can mean anything from a powerful employment position to something more spiritually fulfilling.
