“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.”

-Plato

My Philosophy


The people within my ensembles are not only musicians. They are human beings looking to bring a transformative experience to life. My ensembles will grow to not only respect those around them but also the music that is being performed as we look to perform it in its most authentic way. As we perform, we strive for excellence at every turn so to give every audience the opportunity to reflect, learn, and grow through the academic nature of choral music.
