My name is Ben. I'm a performing arts executive with experience working as an Artist Manager, Development Consultant, Executive Producer and more at companies of different budget sizes and programmatic focus, most recently serving as the Executive Director for Catapult Opera in New York City in addition to my current role as the Baltimore Chamber Orchestra's Executive Director. ​

 

I've helped organize conferences and opera festivals; produced albums, concerts, live streamed events, music videos, and managed a roster of internationally renowned artists which has allowed me to develop a diverse skill specifically designed to help performing arts organizations fulfill their missions and fulfill my life's calling to make a lasting impact in the cultural sector by giving artists the time, space, and creative resources they need to create and share their best work with the public.
