    Written On September 21, 2015
    What might have been a typical season-opening pregame show actually looked a lot like this… At nearly 8:30pm on September 10th, Kevin conducted the Springfield Symphony Orchestra as they kicked-off the New England Patriots Pregame with a one-minute excerpt from O Fortuna (this music commonly accompanies the team as they take the field [...]

    Conducting Casse Noisette (Nutcracker) in Paris or Celebrating Christmas for 2 Months

    Written On December 23, 2014
    A friend recently noted that it’d been quite some time since I’d made a blog entry and after a little reflection I realized that was quite right. After spending the first two months of the season with a different concert program literally every week, I then jumped down the rabbit hole of doing [...]

    Communicating Berg

    Written On October 29, 2014
    I wanted to reflect a bit on spending a few weeks rehearsing and performing the Alban Berg Violin Concerto with Caroline Goulding as soloist with two different orchestras. While rehearsing and performing the piece was certainly the focus of my energies, it wasn’t my only concern during that time as it related to our performances. [...]

    Doing other things…

    Written On October 6, 2014
    Doing “other things”, or things other than music, are frequently part of a conductor’s activities. Last week I had the opportunity to do one of my favorite “other things” and that is host a special show on WGBY, our Western New England PBS station in Springfield, MA. For about 5 years now I have been [...]

    Grieg and Biegel (and Rhodes)

    Written On September 8, 2014
    On September 21 I’m conducting the Grieg Piano Concerto with my longtime friend and collaborator, Jeffrey Biegel as soloist. I really love this piece and remember its main themes being featured in an early piano book I studied as a young piano student. I played that easy piano arrangement on the very first performance I [...]

    Planning a Season

    Written On August 13, 2014
    As we get ready to begin a new season, I’m thinking about what went into creating this season since I’m about to start collecting all of the various little notes I’ve been making for the past 10 months about possible concerts for the season after next, as I begin to plan for it. There are [...]

    La Mer and Le Piano

    Written On August 13, 2014
      Debussy is so crazy amazing, it really defies description! His music for piano was among that which really turned me on to music in a serious minded way when I was a kid. A few weeks ago, I was restudying his “La Mer” and thinking about how equally brilliant and inventive he was in [...]

    Learning New Music

    Written On August 1, 2014
    I’ve got this pile of music sitting on the desk thinking, man…where do I start? It’s the stack of music I’ll be doing for the first time over the next 10 months. Ok, it’s not the first time I’m breaking the back on any of these pieces, but as any performer will tell you, [...]
