VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS

Virtual workshops offer a convenient alternative to in-person sessions when scheduling, costs, or logistics pose challenges. They provide groups with an excellent opportunity to receive feedback from the composer and delve into the intricacies of the composer's intent. Virtual workshop times are flexible, typically ranging from 45 minutes to one hour, accommodating the ensemble's rehearsal schedule. Please note that there is a fee associated with virtual workshops.

IN-PERSON WORKSHOPS

In-person workshops provide an excellent opportunity for groups to receive personalized feedback from the composer and gain deeper insights into the composer's intent. These workshops also feature discussions on the composition process and offer a Q&A session to explore any relevant musical ideas further. With a focus on enhancing the ensemble's performance to its fullest potential, this workshop is designed to bring out the absolute best from your group.

GUEST CONDUCTING

Adrian brings a wealth of experience, having collaborated with a diverse range of ensembles, including all-state orchestras, regional orchestras, and youth orchestras. His passion for conducting shines through in every interaction. Guest conducting sessions with Adrian offer a unique opportunity for ensembles to connect with the composer and witness firsthand the interpretation of the music directly from its source. These sessions also afford ensembles the invaluable opportunity to receive direct feedback, coaching, and in-depth insights into the music.
