In addition to a busy schedule of orchestral and chamber performances, Peggy is committed to commissioning new music for the horn, with an emphasis on diversifying both the repertoire written for the instrument and the composers writing for the horn. These commissions often feature two of her chamber ensembles: Akouo, a horn, violin, and piano trio, and Heavy Metal, a flute, horn, piano trio. Heavy Metal will be recording a number of these pieces in 2022, and a recently completed CD with Akouo features the following music (please contact for recording): 

Empyrean Skies - James Naigus (Commissioned by Peggy Moran in 2018, with the support of the IHS Meir Rimon Commissioning Project)
Fractured Glass - Patrick Conlon
Flipping the Fifth - Alison Plante (Commissioned by Peggy Moran in 2019)
