Hello, and thank you for visiting my web site. I apologize for not keeping the site current. My time has been spent learning new repertoire and enjoying performing in many venues. Most recently, I have been involved in concerts at New York's Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., and a variety of historical venues in Newport, Rhode Island. These performances have been thrilling. I have received invitations to return for the next season, which is a great honor. Among the invitations is to return to the Conservatorio 'Giuseppe Verdi' di Milano (Italy), and Washington's Kennedy Center.
Next on the agenda is a production of Terrence McNally's Master Class, pertaining to the teachings of legendary diva-soprano Maria Callas wherein I will be playing the role of the tenor (Tony Condolino). I will sing the aria "Recondita armonia" from Puccini's opera Tosca. This is a Theatre Street Productions presentation. You are invited to seek more information at www.theatrestreetproductions.com. The play will take place at the Casino Theatere in Newport, Rhode Island in July 2012 and will make a wonderful summer event for those in the New England area.
On an educational note, I have assumed a teaching position in the fall of 2012 as professor of vocal methods and resident artist at Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York, which will enable me to share with students my activities and studies with many of the world's most legendary singers. This will prove to be an exciting opportunity in my career.
As always, I enjoy hearing from people through my web site and you are cordially invited to contact me through this site.
All best wishes for a musically-filled and happy summer.

News of the Baldwin House Concerts:
Having enjoyed a very successful first year with a variety of recitals and events at the Baldwin House Concert Series in Binghamton, New York, we were sorry to bring the series to a close due to house concert restrictions pertaining to insurance matters. Artists continue to inquire about performing for Baldwin House. In that end, we are investigating some offers to continue presenting the series under my direction and supervision in venues that will be covered by costly insurance policies. Please continue to watch this web site for additional information as it unfolds. We were really on a roll with the series. Our final concert was entitled "The Dueling Sopranos", featuring Mary Burgess and Mary Ann Hill (Atlanta, Georgia) with Pej Reitz at the Baldwin grand piano, which required two evenings to accommodate the number of attendees.
