Hello! My name is Elias, and I'm an orchestra and opera conductor, pianist, and cellist. I currently conduct the Apollo Ensemble of Boston and serve as an assistant conductor for the University of Michigan Campus Philharmonia and Symphony Orchestras and University Philharmonia and Symphony Orchestras. I graduated from Harvard College with my B.A. in music in 2016 after transferring there from the Tufts University/New England Conservatory Dual Degree program, and I'm currently pursuing a master's degree in orchestral conducting at the University of Michigan. As a cellist, I have attended various music festivals including the Aspen Music Festival and School and the Bowdoin International Music Festival, and I have performed in concerts and masterclasses across the country. As a pianist, I have served as a rehearsal pianist and vocal coach for numerous operatic productions, and I frequently accompany both singers and instrumentalists. I am excited to be taking piano and cello students of all ages and levels.
