First off, welcome to the news section of my website. This part of matthewprins.com is mainly going to discuss new works I’ve completed, new works I’ve recently had published, and recent or upcoming performances of my works.
Anyway, to start this off, here’s a few recent performances of my music — some at concerts, and some as part of church services. I certainly don’t know about every performance of one of my pieces, but sometimes the performer will let me know, sometimes someone else who hears it will let me know, sometimes I’ll find it via Google or via the Handbell-L, or sometimes I’ll be associated with the performance somehow.
