August 2022 Update

Well, it’s been quite a summer! I had a wonderful time working with the Oakville Symphony to prepare and present a pair of outstanding concerts last month. Conducting Brahms 4 has always been a dream of mine and I’m so happy to have a first (and second) performance of it under my belt. Congratulations to Lorenzo Guggenheim, who has been selected as the Oakville Symphony’s new music director.

In concert with cellist Kendra Grittani and the Oakville Symphony, July 2022.

I am also thrilled to announce that I have accepted a one-year contract to conduct the Wind Symphony at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Music next year. I absolutely love working with musicians at this level and have planned an awesome slate of repertoire that I can't wait to start working on. I'm very grateful to Gillian and Jeff and U of T for the opportunity!

In the meantime, Rouge River Winds will close out the summer next week with the latest in a longstanding series of movie music concerts. Summer Soundtracks III will feature music by Ludwig Goransson, James Horner, and (of course) John Williams.
