I draw on my experience playing jazz, bluegrass and gypsy music to write challenging string ensemble music with a strong emphasis on rhythm, melody and fun. Please note that after years of playing uninspired viola parts, I vowed that some day I would write interesting and challenging viola charts to delight young violists. So far, I'd like to think I've kept that promise.
Finally, all my pieces are adaptable. If you'd like to purchase a piece but your string ensemble has a clarinet, a large viola section, a theremin, or a loud cow nearby, I'd be happy to re-arrange a piece to suit your unique ensemble. Just send me an email at michaelodonnell1990@gmail.com
