Talking Points is my second piece centered on the topic of political discourse. It was written just after the disastrous first presidential debate on September 29, 2020, and much of the material for the accompanying fixed media tracks is sourced from that event.

The piece was premiered at Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor, MI on March 14, 2021 by the University of Michigan concert band under the direction of Dr. Courtney Snyder.
