Hi, I'm a composer, pianist, orchestrator, arranger living in New York, NY, USA. I am currently writing a new musical with playwright/lyricist Jessica Fleitman in the BMI Musical Theatre Workshop. I have orchestrated shows on and off Broadway, for the New York Pops, Boston Pops, and other orchestras. I also do music keyboard programming for shows, including the current Broadway production of Fiddler On The Roof, working with Reed Robins. I've scored numerous documentaries, and arranged/orchestrated hundreds of songs for publisher Silver Burdett Ginn. I can arrange and orchestrate for ensembles large and small, acoustic, electronic, or any combination of both.

I've done musical things overseas: taught music technology at Kunitachi College of Music in Tokyo, Japan; wrote book, music, and lyrics to the show Hope, premiered in Kampala Uganda; taught jazz at two universities in Ethiopia, and performed in a latin jazz band there; composed music for choir and orchestra in Montreal, Quebec.

Let me know if I can create music for your project, or help you in other musical ways!

Thanks!
