My work as a conductor and artistic director is grounded in the conviction that music unfolds from listening — to sound, to gesture, and to the collective body in performance. Conducting is the activation of presence: a shared space where attention, intention, and musical meaning unfold together.

Rooted in early music and historically informed performance, I engage repertoires from early traditions to contemporary works, cultivating pluralities of sound, silence, and musical meaning.
