Let It Ring! was composed for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra for the Express Yourself! Young People's Concerts for performance in January and February 2018. The piece incorporates the orginally composed melody of the 2017-18 winner of the CSO's Young People's Concerts Melody Writing Contest, in which young people from Cincinnati area schools are invited to compose and submit a melody to be incorporated in a brand new piece commissioned by the orchestra. It has truly been a pleasure to participate in this annual event as I strongly
believe in the power of music to shape lives, societies, and eventually our world.
