Conductor

As a conductor I work with Symphony Orchestras, Junior Bands and Concert Bands. Other engagements include leading sectional rehearsals and as an adjudicator at music competitions.

Here are a few examples of some of the wonderful music I have had the pleasure of performing with various Orchestras and Bands:

Bruckner 4th Symphony, Sibelius Symphonies No. 1 and 2, Copland Appalachian Spring, Elgar Enigma Variations, Marquez Danzon No. 2

Walton Viola Concerto, Strauss Oboe Concerto, Arutiunian’s Trumpet Concerto, Glière’s Horn Concerto Op.91., Brubeck Paradise Utopia for Bass Trombone.

Holst’s 1st and 2nd suites for Band, Mackey Aurora Awakes and Sasparilla, Adam Gorb Awayday, Britten Courtly Dances

 “To me, composing is a game of marbles. I’m not seeking to write the greatest symphony of the 21st Century, or something along those lines. I want to entertain myself by playing with the highs, the intensity, the silences, the sonorous explosions, the nuances, the whispers, a great number of experiences of that kind. I try to write my reflections on life, nature, and art in general. I am happy with what I do and I will continue.”
