John holds a Bachelor’s of Music degree from the Crane School of Music, a Master’s Degree in Performance (Conducting) and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree (Conducting) – both from the University of North Texas, where he was the final student of former Dallas Symphony music director Anshel Brusilow. In addition to conducting, John maintains an active role as an orchestrator and arranger; a recent project was a new orchestration of Paul Kletzki’s Piano Concerto, Op. 22. The work was recorded by the Russian Philharmonic Orchestra with Joseph Banowetz, pianist and was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2010 (Best Instrumental Performance with Orchestra).
