Our Holiday 2021 Studio Recital was a festive success! Held on Zoom, we had 18 performers showcasing a variety of Holiday classics and winter-themed pieces. The virtual event allowed family and friends from around the world to join, bringing our audience to over 40 attendees. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the season, and the students’ hard work and talents truly shone through in their performances. Special thanks to everyone who participated and supported our event. Happy Holidays!
Thanks to all who were a part of our Halloween Recital last month on Zoom! Over 25 performers brought their talents, with parents, siblings, and friends joining from throughout the US and Canada!
Our Spring piano recital on Zoom was a success! We had 12 performers, and at least 32 people in attendance–so grateful to everyone for contributing their hard work and your talents 🙂
Enjoy!
Had so much fun at the International Conductors’ Workshop and Competition in Atlanta this past weekend! I conducted excerpts from Beethoven’s Egmont Overture, Symphonies no. 1, 5, and 9, Tchaikovsky’s Symphony no. 5, and Mozart’s Magic Flute Overture, in workshops and a concert with the ICWC Orchestra. Please enjoy this photo album and these videos:
Last weekend I conducted five performances of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Yeomen of the Guard (or, The Merryman and His Maid)” with the University of Michigan Gilbert and Sullivan Society. This was my fifth time Music Directing with UMGASS and I couldn’t be prouder of this production!
Please enjoy these pics and a few videos too!

Feeling very fortunate to have had the opportunity to perform again at St. Cecilia Music Center in Grand Rapids last month!

So lucky to have had the opportunity to perform at St. Cecilia Music Center in Grand Rapids this weekend! I played Schubert’s Impromptu in G-flat Major op. 90, no. 3 (D. 899/3). Thanks to Jordan Waller and Ada Conservatory for the opportunity!
Excited to announce that I am a Conductor Finalist (Community Opera Division) in The American Prize! Proud to receive this recognition on behalf of the University of Michigan Gilbert and Sullivan Society. Wish me luck as the judges pick the winners sometime this summer!
Honored to have had the opportunity to perform on the Spring Faculty Recital at Ada Conservatory of Music this weekend! We raised almost $1,000 for our scholarship fund to help pay for music lessons for students. I performed the Gershwin Three Preludes for Piano–thanks to Director Jordan Waller Opaski for putting this together and for supporting our students!
