I have a passion for making space for artists to inhabit. 

This stretches back to my freshman year of high school, when I started a Battle of the Bands. It was the one successful class fundraiser, but because I was a dweeb, I didn't get reelected to be a "class officer".

As an undergrad at Brandeis, I founded the "Undergrad Composers' Collective".  Although well known for its graduate department in composition, this group created semesterly opportunities for undergrad students to have their works performed.  I learned a lot about how to "make shit happen".

I organized two special site specific concerts: one at the Rose Art Museum, and the other at the Chum's Coffee House.  

Currently, I am organizing a concert series at my new home studio in Medford.  "Lunacy" 


As with making, the act of creating a space for others to have a platform aims to validate makers, to quench the natural thirsts of audiences and performers alike.  Being critically engaged with performance practice, traditions, and identities helps make better spaces.  I continue to empowering young artists as an educator, but I have graduated to curating special spaces for inter-disciplanary making, performance, and story telling.

Ultimately, hosting events is the creation of liminal & temporary communities.  I have the deepest values and trust in the, and I connect audiences and performers to the deeper sense of trust that exists.  Its a tough world out there. These aren't a "break" its the tail of the dog. Wagging.
