A harmless and benign mailing list

If you'd like to be on the mailing list to receive notices about concerts in your area or new album releases, please email Alex.   Your contact information will not be shared with anyone for any reason. Not even Alex's trusted Spotted Leopard Gecko. Promise!

You can also email her to say hello, or to request a perusal score or E-Ensemble curriculum, or to inquire about purchasing a score, or to discuss commissioning a new piece... ...or adapting an existing one for different instruments, or anything else. Truly.   (She is equally at home discussing the finer points of python breeding, sailing hazards in the Salish Sea, or the most efficient way to pack a 22" roll-aboard for a long trip and still be able to close it without harming yourself).
