I am a composer, pianist, flautist and singer living in the greater Boston area. I have decades of experience writing music in all genres.

I have been a front runner among composers for the arpeggione. Some pieces composed are listed below. A suite for solo arpeggione was premiered at the 2011 Music Festival of Lake Como, Italy.
I have also written several compositions in varying forms and genres, including but not limited to the following:
Opera – Der Mashgiahs Meshüges (“The Supervisor’s Madness”- completed October 2012)
Orchestral – 4 symphonies, Concerto for arpeggione
Chamber – Scherzo for piano quartet, Quartet for two arpeggiones and two bassett horns
Vocal – Greenland, On the Second Wednesday (both to original texts), Songs of Death (texts by Rabbi Shmu’el Hannaggid) for arpeggione, bassett horn and voice, Jabberwocky (text by Lewis Caroll), for arpeggione, bassett horn and voice, On Endeavor (text by Alfred Worden) for arpeggione, bassett horn and voice.
Choral – Songs of Zion (biblical and medieval texts), Verses on Wisdom (biblical texts), Psalm 8, Songs of Love (texts by Rabbi Moshe Ibn Ezra and Rabbi Yehudah Halevi)
