From 2017-2021, I co-directed the Manhattan School of Music Percussion Ensemble with my partner in all crimes musical, Mike Perdue. We are fortunate to have coached some of the most talented young percussionists in the world alongside esteemed faculty members; Chris Lamb, She-e Wu, Duncan Patton, and Kyle Zerna. With a penchant for stretching their creative legs, Mike and I pushed our ensemble members to think beyond the page, programming challenging, legendary pieces and historical masterworks alongside graphic and improvisatory scores for a well-rounded chamber music experience.
