I accept commissions for anything ranging from solo voice and instrument to full orchestra. Most of my recent compositions have been for orchestra and other larger ensemble. I have previously been commissioned for works by Yavapai College, Prescott POPS Symphony, Prescott Chamber Orchestra, Kennesaw State University, Balance Duo, Prescott Women Chamber Choir, Prescott Chorale, and a number of individuals. My "Fanfare for My City" was selected by the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra as their official fanfare. My piano concerto, Currents, was August 2018 with Steinway Artist James d'Leon.

Sticks and Tones is the duo of Henry & Maria Flurry. We are a family entertainment group specializing in elementary school programs, family-oriented events, and evening music. We write a new Summer Library Reading program every year to fit the theme of that year, and we have a number of shows available for performance at schools. We also do community concerts and recitals. Henry plays piano, guitar, and sings. Maria plays percussion, including keyboard mallet instruments, and sings.

Composition lessons for beginners to advanced, with a focus on the classical music tradition, from early music through common practice and into twentieth and twenty-first century styles, with guidance skills for anything from children's music to multi-movement full-orchestral works. My teaching is grounded in craft, form, and an understanding of how humans perceive the journey of every element that is put on paper. Beyond offering a firm grasp of traditional and contemporary harmony, melody, and counterpoint, my teaching is heavily influenced by the theories and practices of Marianne Ploger and, by extension, her mentor Nadia Boulanger.

Privately taught piano, music theory, and musicianship. Piano pedagogy is Suzuki based for the young beginners, traditional for older transfer and adult students.Group classes are co-taught with Maria Flurry.

Prescott, Arizona, United States

An annual music festival that included many music education opportunities for adults & children and concerts, including our flagship concert, New Music Arizona. The MusicFest spawned two separate and successful independent programs: Chaparral MusicFest Chamber Music Workshop and the Chaparral Suzuki Academy.I organized and co-presented seven New Music Arizona concerts, an eclectic and engaging concert that featured living composers with connections to Arizona and music related to these composer's inspirations. Solicited and evaluated scores, hired musicians, coordinated the presentation of the concerts, and arranged pre- and post-concert presentations by the composers. This was a unique and highly successful model for presenting new music that enabled every audience member to find much to enjoy.
