As a grant writer, he has won unprecedented, statewide support for the Rochester Oratorio Society and greatly enhanced contributions from private foundations. As a board member of the William Warfield Scholarship Fund, Eric initiated the William Warfield Vocal Competition for African American High School Students, held annually beginning in October 2019
An experienced and effective communicator on music and arts topics, Eric has offered pre-concert chats, creative consultation and program annotation for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and several other ensembles and chamber music series. He is a frequent commentator on arts topics on WXXI Public Broadcasting and producer and host of “In the Spotlight,” an arts magazine program distributed via cable access television stations throughout Western New York.
