"Ithaca is an exciting place to teach, compose, research and create. Its idyllic setting, combined with rich intellectual and artistic resources make it the perfect place to live for any artist. It is a place where you can experience world class events and concerts, all in the convenience of a small, vibrant college town. What tops it all are my incredible colleagues, some of the most professional, warmest, kindest, smartest, talented and dedicated people I have ever worked with."
