Saxophonist Noa Even and the Kent State Wind Ensemble under the baton of Dr. Wendy Matthews give the world premiere of my Concerto for Saxophone and Wind Ensemble, For Those Who Fell, composed for the 50th anniversary of the Kent State Shootings. The piece tells an imagined version of the events of that day, with the soloist acting as a leader of student protestors. Its five sections are:
- Introduction
- Gathering Energy
- Energy of Protest
- Shots Ring Out in Slow Motion
- Elegy
