Musical Leadership:

Community Artist Fellow, Curtis Institute of Music, Philadelphia, PA 2018 - present Curtis’ Community Artist Fellowships, offered to three Curtis alumni each year, allow musicians to bring their artistry to underserved communities across Philadelphia. Personal projects include: one, a research study and composition workshop in partnership with the Penn Memory Center on the impact of music compositional activity on anxiety, depression, and self-isolation in early-stage Alzheimer’s patients; and two, a children’s opera project, which takes inspiration for its libretto from the Akan character Anansi the Spider. The opera is being created in collaboration with K-12 students at Girard College and will premiere on Curtis’ Family Concert Series with tenor Aaron Crouch, soprano Lindsey Reynolds, and mezzo-soprano Amanda Bottoms at both Curtis and Girard College on 3/30 and 3/31/18. “Cityscaping” Director and Composer-in-Residence, The Brass Project, Philadelphia, PA. 2015 - present The Brass Project is a sextet of outstanding brass musicians from the Curtis Institute of Music united around a shared set of multifaceted goals: to expand the repertoire for chamber brass, to record and distribute new works, and to engage with a wide community through outreach and educational programs. The Brass Project has proudly presented over 100 pop-up concerts and educational programs in addition to their many traditional concert performances. For their inaugural season, The Brass Project commissioned 32 new works as part of their “Cityscaping” initiative; participating composers included Pulitzer Prize winner Aaron Jay Kernis, Rome Prize winner Sean Friar, and Princeton Professor Emeritus Paul Lansky. This endeavor, initially produced under the auspices of Curtis’ Community Artists Program, presented these new works in concert at the Philadelphia Art Alliance, in schools both in Philadelphia and New Mexico, and in Philadelphia’s Reading Terminal Market. The project received critical acclaim in the Philadelphia Inquirer and led to The Brass Project’s debut studio album. Co-Founder, President, and Conductor, Oxford Laptop Orchestra, University of Oxford 2012 - 2013 The Oxford Laptop Orchestra (OxLOrk), modeled after the Princeton Laptop Orchestra, is a performance ensemble that operates with six hemispherical speakers and an assortment of digital controllers. In its inaugural year, OxLOrk presented five concerts, including a feature at the Barbican Centre in London and a collaboration with the Ashmolean Art Museum. The concept behind OxLOrk is that each player controls musical parameters in real time, such that each piece is performed live with novel digital instruments. Hemispherical speakers allow sonic localization so that each performer is perceived individually, which creates the possibility for an “orchestra” of individually expressive players. Roles as president, co-founder, and conductor were both creative and administrative, including tasks as varied as concert planning, fundraising, rehearsing, programming—both in the digital and musical sense—and working to acquire and maintain the orchestra’s array of software and hardware. Founder and President, Undergraduate Composers Collective, Princeton University 2007 - 2011 The Undergraduate Composers Collective is a collaborative group of composers dedicated to helping each other improve their work and expand their musical ideas. The organization holds weekly meetings for a variety of purposes, most often to workshop compositions, and presents two concerts each year in collaboration with performers from the Juilliard School. Graduate student composers attend these meetings biweekly to share their compositions and offer feedback on undergraduate work. Other special events have included seminars, opportunities to attend open rehearsals of professors’ works, and commissions from various ensembles on campus. Co-Founder and Director, Back in Tune, Waltersville Elementary, Bridgeport, CT 2005 - 2008 Back in Tune was an initiative designed to collect, refurbish, and distribute used instruments, as well as to provide musical instruction to underprivileged students in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Over 50 instruments were donated, totaling an approximate value of $11,470. The project received two grants from the United Way.
