William has performed throughout New England and Iceland. He played the organ for mass at Saint Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, Notre Dame de Paris, and various other churches in western Europe. He soloed several times as a teenager with the New Hampshire Music Festival Orchestra, and has been highly sought after in recent years as a collaborative pianist and for studio recordings.

William has also composed quite a variety of music. Recently, he wrote the musical “Pollyanna” (words and script by Trish Lindberg), which was staged in January 2008 at Plymouth State College. This original musical was an immediate success, and is now being offered to publishing companies. ( Listen to a sample from Pollyanna )

In addition, William writes original music for the NorthEast Shakespeare Ensemble productions at the Lebanon Opera House in Lebanon, NH every summer. This summer he has written original music in a Spanish/Italian style for “Much Ado about Nothing”, directed by John Goodlin. Past productions that benefited from his touch include “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “King Lear”. Music from these can be found on his CD “Orpheus”

Still other compositions include a set of three ragtime piano pieces, a song cycle set to the poetry of Steinn Steinarr, “Nissa!” (a children’s musical); and numerous works for solo piano in various styles.

When he finds time, William teaches piano lessons at Three Oaks Piano Studio in North Sutton, NH. His students range in age from 6-82, and although he currently has a waiting list, he is more than happy to speak with prospective students.
