Introduction
I began making music at age 6 in an upstate New York church handbell choir. The saxophone came next at age 10. 19 years later, I’m a versatile and happily busy musician and arts administrator living in Brooklyn. Sadly, no handbell gigs have come up lately.
I love performing with Singularity, the quartet I co-founded in 2013. Recent Singularity performances include joining the opera pits of New York City Opera and The Princeton Festival, and premiering an in-house arrangement of William Brittelle’s Future Shock during an album release party hosted by Metropolis Ensemble, William Brittelle, New Amsterdam Records, and Nonesuch Records at Public Records in Brooklyn. Other favorite performances of mine include playing saxophone in Philip Venables’ breathtaking opera 4.48 Psychosis with Contemporaneous at the 2019 Prototype Festival, and singing in the October 2018 world premiere of David Lang’s Mile Long Opera on the High Line in New York City.
I enjoy my administrative work as Artistic Operations Manager of the All Souls Unitarian Church music department and Production Manager of Musica Viva NY, and can be found in the All Souls Choir bass section most Sunday mornings.
