ABOUT ME…
I am a Los Angeles-based composer with worldwide performances and a catalog of over 90 works for orchestra, chamber ensembles, and solo instruments. I also conduct the Los Angeles Youth Orchestra, perform piano and classical guitar, present preconcert talks for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and create an ongoing series of classical music lectures on Zoom. My Ph.D. is from Harvard University, where I studied with Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Leon Kirchner. My Masters Degree is from the New England Conservatory and my Bachelor’s Degree is from UCLA.

My life is centered around composing and building a passion in people for classical music. Explore this website to learn about classical music through my lectures and blogs. Listen to my music or view my scores. Consider joining Russell’s Classical Consortium, a unique group of listeners from around the world who have become a community that gets together with me regularly on Zoom to discuss classical music.
