Orchestrally, I have conducted much of the standard Baroque, Classical and Romantic repertoire and am comfortable with the works of such contemporary composers as Poulenc, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Britten and Barber.   I have also premiered several works by New Jersey composers.    I have conducted over 25 operas in concert and fully-staged productions during the past 8 years with the Baroque Orchestra of North Jersey, New Jersey Concert Opera, the Little Opera Company of New Jersey and in Romania with Opera Constanta.     I am comfortable conducting operas of Handel, Mozart, Verdi and Puccini but have also conducted less familiar operas such as those of Purcell, Weber and Pergolesi and have conducted and studied the German repertoire with special emphasis on the operas of Richard Wagner, inaugurating the first Wagner Project in New Jersey.
