CONDUCTOR.
I BELIEVE IN BRIDGING THE DIVIDE BETWEEN performer and conductor.
My experience as an instrumentalist early in my career instilled in me the value of each individual performer’s role in an any ensemble. I bring this philosophy into leading any ensemble I stand in front of, making decisions based on what the musicians need, want, and expect from me. As the only silent musician in any performance, a conductor’s job in every situation is to be useful to their colleagues and bring them and the audience deeper into the music together.
MY PHILOSOPHY.
EXAMPLES.
Below are some examples of my conducting experience leading choral and orchestral ensembles through a range of repertoire.
