Welcome to my home.
Allow me to take your hat.
(Does anybody still wear a hat?)
Get to know me!
I’m nice. I promise.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my website! I am a multi-hyphenate artist and teacher based in New York City. For ten years, I taught voice at Marymount Manhattan College and currently serve as an adjunct professor at Wagner College. I’ve had the pleasure of presenting sessions and workshops around the country and internationally. In 2010, I won the NATS Composition Award with my song cycle, “Missed Connections.” I’ve been honored to have my work heard at concerts produced by Friends & Enemies of New Music, Joy in Singing, Lyricfest, and Songfest, along with world premieres at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. With my collaborators Tom Gualtieri and Michael Zam (“Feud”), I’m working on a musical adaptation of Henry James’ The Wings of the Dove.
Tom and I are also the creators of the new video series “Draw the Circle Wide.” I am the Founder and President of ContemporaryMusicalTheatre.com, the largest online database of contemporary writers and songs. I co-authored “Mastering College Musical Auditions” with business partner Laura Josepher. I also musical direct and, every once in a while, take the stage myself.
You're obsessed with me! Keep Reading…
