About

I am a conductor in the field of choral music active in guest conducting across the United States, Canada, and Europe. I commission, record, and compose new choral music regularly, and am especially interested in exploring the beauty, mystery, and heartbreak we all experience as modern citizens in a complicated world. I use an innovative approach to conducting—the application of dance method Laban Movement Analysis—to encourage students to be more expressive and efficient with gesture.
