He is a graduate of Roberts Wesleyan College and Ithaca College, and received his DMA from the Eastman School of Music where his primary teacher was Samuel Adler. He is an active guest conductor, pianist, and clinician. Now retired from full-time teaching, he devotes his time to composing, accompanying, and teaches a course on advanced aural skills at Roberts Wesleyan College. He lives with his beautiful wife, Ruthie, his dog Jubal, and his cat Precious. To read more, check out his bio here! https://www.jubal-press.com/biography "Sanctuary" is a lovely work in two movements – "Winter's End" and "Everyone Danced." They explore a wide range of emotions, and move from somber but hope filled to expressive and joyful! —————– Come out to experience this wonderful work "Sanctuary" and more at our concert, 'Boomba!'
