Last weekend I had the honor of conducting five performances of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Ruddigore (or, The Witch’s Curse)” with the University of Michigan Gilbert and Sullivan Society. This production, filled with its gothic charm and lively melodies, was a thrilling experience, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how everything came together. It was my seventh time serving as Music Director with UMGASS.

Our Spring 2023 Studio Recital was a wonderful event, showcasing the incredible progress our students have made. Held in-person at Kerrytown Concert House, the recital featured 22 performers who delivered stunning performances of pieces ranging from Classical to modern. With an audience of over 100, the recital was a vibrant celebration of music and achievement. A special shoutout to Simon, who played his piece with just his right hand after breaking his left thumb – an inspiring example of perseverance and dedication. Well done to all our students!
