His
hobby: raising horses such as
Nonesuch Spirit of Opie, who is housed at

to combine their two loves by creating a multi-media presentation called
Horsetails, which was designed to raise money for the LPO’s
Partners in Education program, which helps out children in The Bluegrass
State.
He returned to

Jubilate Deo Chorale and Orchestra’s 2001
