devotion to expressive arts.
Towards the end of high school, interests were divided between music and science. His family's orientation toward the latter prompted technical studies at M.I.T., culminating in a master's degree in engineering. A career in teaching, research and consulting followed: briefly in New York, then in the Philadelphia region, where he married and settled in Swarthmore with his growing family while teaching at Villanova University.
Parallel to this, however, was continuation of early activity in jazz and classical music, on piano and later cello. Then study at the University of Pennsylvania led to a 1964 M.A. in theory and composition, and much chamber music performed and written since.
Poetic effort, occasional during early years, gained momentum through setting poems to music in song and choral works. He eventually joined Poets Walk In, a group meeting to read their own poems aloud.voir moins
