I’m a writer, composer, and arts executive. For eleven fantastic years I was fortunate to serve as President and CEO of New Music USA and before that Meet The Composer. At various other times I’ve been a program director, development officer, composer, teacher, and writer. My roles have included as Managing Editor of the Kurt Weill Edition, Director of Development of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Associate Director of David Bury & Associates, and Managing Director of Sequitur new music ensemble. As a founding member of the grassroots Common Sense Composers Collective and as an individual composer, I’ve completed commissioned work for a lot of different ensembles, among them the Anhaltisches Philharmonie Dessau, Albany Symphony Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, New Millennium Ensemble, and American Baroque. My published writings range from essays on music to musical editions to recording reviews. My music is recorded commercially on the Albany, Santa Fe New Music, CRI, and Neuma labels.
