My wish is to entertain, educate and transport audiences.

I hope that the humanity and genius of great composers will excite, awe and inspire my listeners.

Most of all, I want people to experience art music in a way that is direct, dramatic and communicative.

It is my hope that music can help people transcend their daily lives and troubles, and bring them closer to their own greatness.
