HISTORY
When Matthew Sperry was killed in a bicycle accident in 2005, I organized a large ensemble that performed at the first annual Sperry Festival. Years have passed and the group has played at performance spaces and concert series in festivals and community events between Los Angeles, California and Seattle, Washington. Since its inception, I have called upon PGLRG to realize both my large ensemble compositions and explore the realm of conducted improvisation.
