The program itself acts as a powerful vehicle of expression. Cornerstones of my current practice involve the following:

​

A narrative approach governed by an external structure.

Inspiration includes current events, books, theories, art, and experience.

 

Inclusion of solo and instrumental repertoire.

 

Attention to the "Dramatic Arc" (Gustav Freytag).

 

Unexpected juxtapositions of style and affect.

​

Reduction/elimination of internal applause.

​

Thoughtfully prepared transitions.
