From conducting Broadway musicals in such venues as the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles to leading summer orchestral performances for thousands of concert-goers across Central New York, Travis understands and facilitates the important connection between audience members and orchestral musicians.

He has also collaborated with well-known composers, including conducting the world premiere of Academy Award-nominated composer Patrick Doyle’s score for the silent film “IT” at the 2013 Syracuse International Film Festival.

Currently, Travis is Assistant Professor and director of the arts administration program at Le Moyne College in Syracuse, NY, where he also conducts the Le Moyne College Chamber Orchestra. He studied violin performance and conducting at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and also holds an MBA from Le Moyne College.
