He directed the young artists’ program at the Carmel Bach Festival, the International Baroque Academy of Musiktheater Bavaria, and has conducted a variety of ensembles including the Portland Baroque Orchestra, the Bang on a Can All-Stars, the Opéra Français de New York, OperaOmnia, the Amherst Festival opera, and a critically-acclaimed annual series called the 4×4 Festival.
