ABOUT MY WORK
In 2014, I created the Apotheosis Opera Company with a friend from college. My Mannes College season highlights include Vaughan Williams’ Symphonies No. 2 and No. 5, Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20 (Baron Fenwick, soloist), and world premieres of Zach Gulaboff Davis’ Momentum and Faye-Ellen Silverman’s cantata A Free Pen. On May 15, 2016 I made my debut with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra in Shostakovich’s Festive Overture and Bizet’s Overture to Carmen. I have also directed and conducted my own productions of Vaughan Williams’ operas The Pilgrim’s Progress and Riders to the Sea.
