| Introduction | I am a classically trained violinist, a pupil of Fryderyk Sadowski, John Kendall, Shinichi Suzuki in Japan and Daniel Majeske. I have performed under Leonard Bernstein, Kurt Masur and Seiji Ozawa, and for dancing greats such as Rudolf Nureyev. As an independent musician I have been on stage with people as diverse as Rod Stewart, Burt Bacharach and Vince Gill. I have taught youth groups internationally and through MacPhail School of Music brought students on two international tours. With colleagues I help to found and direct Philomusica of Minnesota. I have (3) college degrees including an MM, and the equivalent of an MFA. Schools of study have included the University of California, Washington University, St Louis Conservatory, Southern Illinois University, Atelier Lack and Harvard GSD. I am the father of two fantastic daughters, each of whom is a unique, marvelous and caring individual in their own right. I am also a very proud grandfather. I am interested in positive, non-violent and progressive changes that benefit all people. I remain a staunch believer in fair treatment and human rights for all. |
