A prolific composer and arranger for small ensembles, Bill’s classical compositions and arrangements have been performed by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Phoenix Symphony, and the Detroit Chamber Winds and Brass. In addition to his work with the Detroit Symphony, Bill is also an avid composer and performer of Jazz. His debut CD, “When it Rains” is available on iTunes.
