Conducting Videos

I have enjoyed conducting orchestral, choral, and chamber ensembles on three continents for over two decades. Linked below is a selection of live concert videos showcasing my work with a variety of excellent ensembles from Turkey, Ukraine, and China. I am grateful to every performer in each ensemble for the fine music we have made together and am delighted to share these videos as a testament to our successful collaborations. Enjoy!

Contemporary Music

Over the course of my career, I have had numerous opportunities to conduct contemporary music. Whether it was performing an award-winning composition by an established professional, or conducting a premier of a new work by a student, I have always endeavored to breathe life into each piece and fulfill the intentions of the composer. To share these new and unique sounds with inquiring minds is deeply satisfying and I am grateful to all those who entrusted me to give wings to their musical dreams. Listen carefully, for these are the sounds of the future!
