August 2023 Update

I am quite pleased at the positive feedback I’ve received about the Canadian Wind Repertoire database that I launched earlier this month! Many friends and colleagues have reached out to express their excitement at discovering works or composers they weren’t familiar with. I will be delivering a presentation about the database and also serving as a guide through the new concert and jazz repertoire for Long & McQuade Toronto’s annual reading session next week.

I have two other exciting bits of news to share. First, I have been selected as a finalist for the music director position with the Milton Philharmonic Orchestra, and will be conducting their season finale concert on Saturday, May 11, 2024, as part of my audition. Second, my contract with the University of Toronto has been renewed and I will be returning to direct the Wind Symphony again for the 2023-24 academic year!

Oakville Symphony postponed

Due to the ongoing public health restrictions, my upcoming concerts with the Oakville Symphony have been postponed.

(UPDATE: The concerts have been rescheduled to July 9th and 10th, 2022, with the same repertoire.)
