Central Illinois Concert Orchestra

I have been conducting the Central Illinois Concert Orchestra (CICO) since the spring of 2017. CICO is an full orchestra ensemble based in Peoria, IL that is a part of Youth Music Illinois. Over the years, I have conducted the following major works of orchestral repertoire with these amazing students:

• Overture to “Barber of Seville” (Rossini) - video to the right.

• Light Cavalry Overture (Suppe)

• Egmont Overture (Beethoven)

• Spring Festival Overture (Huanzhi)

• Little Figure in G Minor (Bach)

I often premiere my own compositions with CICO:

• Checkmate! for Full Orchestra (Spring 2018)

• Orchestral March in F Major (Spring 2019)

• Appalachian’s Dance (Spring 2022)
