Navigation

I was born in Morgantown, West Virginia, and spent most of my childhood in Baltimore, Maryland. My parents were both musicians, and I took after them. I was a student at The University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music and received a Bachelor of Music degree from there in 1982. I also attended The Walden School, a summer program for young composers, in Dublin, New Hampshire. For graduate school, I went to Cambridge University, where I got my MPhil degree in 1983. In between, I was a Fellowship Student at the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood, studying with the American composer and conductor, Gunther Schuller. I've written chamber music, piano music, orchestral works including a tone poem called Lucé Veneziana (Venetian Light), song cycles and one opera (unfinished, with the libretto adapted from a play by Franz Kafka).
