Former General Music Director of the Staatskapelle Weimar and Chief Conductor of the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra, with conducting and arranging across Europe and North America. These days I bring that experience to three things, below. Take a look at whichever fits what you need.

→ 03Vocal Coaching in Toronto
In-person coaching for singers, grounded in three decades of opera from the podium. Roles, auditions, interpretation. Serious craft, no stiffness.
