Conductor

During the first months of my composition studies at University of Victoria (December 2013), a fellow composer passed me by while I ate something between lessons. She looked at me and asked: “Do you conduct? I am looking for a conductor to perform my piece next month.” The truth was that I did not conduct, but I wanted to learn, so I accepted her invitation.

Since I began my conducting practice in the beginning of 2014, I worked with a number of ensembles in Victoria, BC and in Toronto, ON. Some of the performances include:


• North York Concert Orchestra Rehearsals:


–Carmen Fantasy, by Pablo de Sarasate (1882);

–Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, by Johannes Brahms (1854)

• Assistant Music Director of The Crystal Singers Women’s Choir:

• Guest conductor with the St. Barnabas Church Choir;

• Graduation recitals:
