THEATRE

I grew up playing in pit orchestras, captivated not just by the music itself, but by the way orchestration could shape a story — building tension, revealing emotion, and transporting an audience into a completely different world. That early experience instilled in me a deep appreciation for the technical and emotional craft behind creating a theatrical soundscape.

Whether orchestrating new musicals, reimagining classic stories, or collaborating on concert performances, I’m driven by the challenge of building a sound world that supports and elevates the narrative. Theatre continues to be one of my greatest creative passions — here’s a look at some of the productions I’ve been fortunate to be part of.
