Bio

Pete holds a B.M. in Jazz Studies from New England Conservatory and a B.A. in Philosophy from Tufts University. He says: “I am a professional saxophonist, composer, educator, administrator, and concert curator. I believe deeply in the power of music to impact and develop people in profound ways, and I’ve experienced this myself as a musician, mentor, and program designer. The role of the regional music center – the joyful rigor that we bring to music education and the vibrant experiences we bring to the concert hall – is essential and often overlooked in broadening and deepening the role of music in our culture. The bonds, the memories, and the impact we generate make deep and lasting impressions on our patrons, and can change their lives forever.”
