	<description>I am a Chicago based composer, performer, and sacred musician. As a composer, I view music theory as a branch of cognitive science, and explore its models in composition. As a teacher and performer, I study the aesthetics of the music of our time, and advance the keyboard improvisation and performance. As a sacred musician, I continue to express and define the religious in music as it relates to faith, spirituality, and the notion of self.</description>

The historic presence of St. Michael in Old Town Church in the Old Town neighborhood of Chicago has produced a number of memorable music events. It would suffice to mention the exquisite performances of Music of the Baroque, accompanied by the church’s captivating acoustics and heavenly architectural treasures.

 “Oh soul,
you worry too much.
You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty.
You have seen your golden wings.
Of anything less,why do you worry?
You are in truth
the soul, of the soul, of the soul.”
