Conducting
I enjoy working with musicians to bring to life music of diverse periods, genres and styles. I take time to thoroughly study the scores of each program to facilitate the learning process and to allow for thoughtful and meaningful interpretations of the music. Presently, I would be available for limited conducting engagements.
