Honored to have been invited to perform on yesterday’s benefit concert for The NOAH Project Detroit at The Birmingham Temple Congregation for Humanistic Judaism. Please enjoy these pics!
Had such a blast in my first stint as Music Director with University of Michigan Gilbert and Sullivan Society. Enjoy these pics!

Last weekend I attended my second American Choral Directors’ Association national conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. Enjoy these pictures from the conference, including: our See-a-Dot Music booth, a concert in the Mormon Tabernacle (naturally featuring the famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir), our publisher reading session, and the fabulous NOTUS (from my alma mater Indiana University).

Just cashed in two savings bonds to help defray the cost of my beautiful new Essex grand piano. Thank you, Papa (my grandfather, David Donner z”l) and Dr. Hubbard for making this investment in me 29 years ago. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase–here’s to a lifetime of Beethoven, Brahms, Bach, Gershwin, and Schubert in my very own space, at last.
Honored to have the opportunity to perform again at Temple Beth Zion, the congregation where I was raised, became bar mitzvah in 1999, and was confirmed in 2002. I was a guest performer on a concert featuring Kol Rina, the JCC of Greater Buffalo‘s new community choir, and over 100 people were in attendance! Photos by Cantor Penny Myers:
What an amazing time yesterday! The debut performance of “The American Piano,” a new program celebrating the music of the great Jewish American composers of the 20th Century, was a success with over 150 people in attendance.
The concert was presented by North Shore Congregation Israel in Glencoe, Illinois, and made possible by the Marilyn and Robert Mitchell Sternberg Cultural Enrichment Fund and Cantor David Goldstein.
Friends: the fabulous Aurea Silva Trio is playing my piece again tonight at the White Lake Chamber Music Festival! This great group has performed all over the Midwest and at IDRS 2013 and are great champions of new music. Wish them break a leg with me!
So great to work again at my alma mater Interlochen Arts Camp!
This summer I served as rehearsal pianist for the High School Musical Theatre Production. In my spare time there was lots of good food, great concerts, and lots of fun times.
