Formed consulting business to take advantage of successful marketing programs I created while at the New Orleans Symphony Orchestra. I made a presentation on orchestra marketing at the 2001 national conference of the League of American Orchestras. I also authored the guide "How to Sell More Tickets and Reach New Audiences Using a Database Marketing System," which explains a simple, proven system for orchestras and other performing arts groups to enjoy full houses.

I was one of the founding members of this woodwind sextet (pairs of clarinets, French horns and bassoons). We played the unique repertoire for this instrumental combination, featuring the Beethoven Op. 71 and including works by Mozart (the original sextet version of K. 375 which is more well known as an octet), Danzi, Castil-Blaze, Krommer, Kreutzer, Druschetsky, Von Weber, Pleyel, and others.

Chorus Master was Frank Almond. Performed works for chorus and orchestra with the San Diego Symphony Orchestra, including Verdi's "Requiem" (1874) and Beethoven's "Symphony No. 9" (Op. 125, 1824). Performed Brahms songs for chorus and orchestra under Robert Shaw ("Nänie" (Op. 82, 1880); "Schicksalslied" (Op. 54, 1868); "Alto Rhapsody" (Op. 53, 1869).
