Mamma mia - national tour

I am very excited to announce that I will be music directing and conducting the upcoming Equity/AFM tour of Mamma Mia, launching in late October 2023! Rehearsals in NYC begin very soon, and I can’t wait for you all to see and hear this fantastic cast and orchestra!

Tour stops, tickets, and cast info can be found at: mammamiathetour.com.

new Projects for 2023!

I’m excited to be busy making music to start out 2023! I’m currently working as a vocal director & supervisor for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, as well as writing arrangements and orchestrations for their shipboard orchestras. You can purchase those charts by clicking here.

I am also the long-term on-call keyboard sub for the Beetlejuice 1st National Tour; special thanks to Music Director Andy Grobengieser for bringing me onboard and to Associate MD Julia Sunay for being awesome and letting me rock out with you all! I’ll be joining the show again in East Lansing for several performances; more dates & locations to be announced as they are scheduled.

I am orchestrating a brand-new musical based on Nathanial Hawthorne’s story “Feathertop” written by Detroit-based composer David Fazzini and lyricist Mitch Carter entitled Alyce, which will have it’s world-premiere in the summer of 2024 with a 15-piece orchestra.

I am also working on finishing up recording sessions for my Christmas choral & orchestra collection, Dawn is Breaking, to be published in summer of 2023 and will be available to be performed by your choir & orchestra.

Keep an eye on this space for more information coming soon…
