Looking forward to working with the superb and sensitive musicians of @omahasymphony again! Can’t wait to conduct Bluebeard’s Castle – a brilliant orchestral work, as well as an incredible piece of music theater – in their beautiful hall. 📸 Todd Rosenberg

Diana Dubrovsky taught me piano when I was a child – she always saw my potential and believed in me, pushed me to do hard things and be excellent, and encouraged me to take on challenges. She came to my @nwsymphony concert – the first time we’ve seen each other since I was ~13!

I had a magnificent experience at @operaaustralia – can’t wait to return in 2025 for a new production of Carmen! Thrilled to re-team with the superb musicians + talented collaborators behind the scenes in the gorgeous Sydney Opera House. 📸 Keith Saunders

I’m eagerly looking forward to embarking on new creative projects – and perhaps even finding time to play my (lately quite neglected) piano. Keep an eye on my calendar for upcoming performances, and stay tuned for exciting collaborations to be announced soon! 📸 Joe Mazza

Grateful for this inspiring community of conductors that @marinalsop has created. Visibility, mentorship, and support are critical for every artist – and absolutely essential if change is to take place. Thank you to Kristin Jurkscheit, @raviniafestival, and @takialsop.

In Il Trittico, Puccini incorporates sound effects like cat meowing, sheep bleating, and flatulence – all in the orchestration! We also hear car horns. The pitches aren’t notated in the score, so Principal Percussionist Kevin Man and I auditioned several horns for color/pitch. 🤓

Loved speaking with Andrew Ford at @ABCaustralia about Puccini’s Trittico, new work development, and more!
