  I had the pleasure of working with Chad Heltzel on the premiere of my orchestral work Non-Destructive Classical Music in 2019. He was an excellent advocate for the work, thoroughly prepared and brimming with ideas.
  All too often, conductors do not bring their own thoughts about a new work to a premiere, but Chad was deeply engaged and made many good suggestions. His technical control was superb, and his rehearsal technique was impeccable. The orchestra responded well to him. I found I had no need to interfere with his rehearsal process, as every concern I had he had already identified and was prepared to correct.
  All in all, this was one of the most positive experiences I have had with a conductor at a premiere.
