“MUCH LIKE AN OVERTURE, MUSIC HAS ALWAYS PRECEDED MY INNOVATIVENESS AND DECISION-MAKING. FROM LEARNING CLASSICAL PIANO AS A FOUNDATION, I BRANCHED INTO THE BLUEGRASS-INFUSED AUTOHARP OF THE AMERICAN SOUTH AND THE QUINTESSENTIAL EUROPEAN PARTY FAVORITE, THE ACCORDION. I’VE WRITTEN AND PUBLISHED JAZZ QUARTETS, MADRIGALS, CABARET FARE, AND ORCHESTRATIONS FOR THE MUSICAL STAGE. BE IT SHAKESPEARE, THE CLASSICS, OR WORLD PREMIERES, IT ALL STARTS WITH MOOD AND MELODY.”
