Conductor
As a conductor, I offer a wide variety of options that lead to more efficient rehearsal and intimate collaboration. Whether premiering a new orchestral work of mine, or directing several works in a festival/college-residency setting, or simply leading a non-Stephenson program, I can offer a composer’s insight that otherwise might go untapped, creating a rewarding experience for both performers and audience-members.
Fees are negotiable. If you are interested, and would like more information, please contact me directly using the following form.
