Don about Barbershop: “Throughout my career, I have performed music of all genres—from the classic styles of the Middle Ages to the 21st century, as well as pop, spirituals, gospel, world music, and jazz. Barbershop has taught me to put heart into all the music I do.” I love to talk to anyone about all things regarding conducting!
