Music: Performance and Compositions

     I attended undergrad on a partial oboe performance scholarship and, though I went into education, I've always had a passion for music performance​. 
     Prior to becoming more active as a director, I frequently freelanced as an instrumentalist and vocalist in and around Chicago. At right is a list of shows in which I have played and below is a mini CV regarding my performance skills.
  • Lyric Tenor (G2-Bb5)
  • Oboe/English Horn (professional)
  • Piano/Keyboards (advanced)
  • Woodwinds-flute, saxophone, clarinet (advanced)

Sequencing Services

In recent years, many musical licensing companies have made performance accompaniment tracks available for popular musicals. While this service can be a lifesaver, a lot of great musicals that are performed less frequently often do not have available performance tracks. 

My orchestral tracks are sequenced using EastWest's beautiful array of instrument patches and follow the original scores. All tracks are provided in a bundled QLab workspace along with a cued and annotated score. Currently, Sunday in the Park with George is available for immediate rent and other titles will be made available in the future. To rent orchestrations for this title, please contact me using the above link.

If you have a show in mind that you'd like to produce and are in need of tracks, contact me using the above link to discuss your options.
Download the files to the right to hear a sample of my accompaniment tracks.
​The first file is the final 30 seconds of the Act 2 Finale.
​The second file is "Beautiful" from Act 2.
