About

I'm based in San Francisco as a harpsichordist and conductor. In addition to my performing career, I am the Artistic Director of the Berkeley Festival & Exhibition, an internationally-renowned celebration of early music, and the Executive Director of the San Francisco Early Music Society.

Music

While I specialize in the Baroque and Classical repertoire, I also perform Romantic and modern repertoire quite frequently on piano. I'm also a big proponent of new music!
