Richard Scerbo - Artistic Director
		With the founding of the Inscape Chamber Orchestra in 2004, Artistic Director Richard Scerbo set out to create an ensemble intent on reaching new audiences by performing interesting and relevant programs.  An immediate success, Mr. Scerbo then created the Inscape Chamber Music Project as a companion to the Inscape Chamber Orchestra.  Together, these groups represent one of the most exciting performing organizations in the Washington Metropolitan area.
		Mr. Scerbo is a graduate of the University of Maryland, where he studied conducting with James Ross and bassoon with Daniel Matsukawa, Susan Heineman, and Linda Harwell.  While there, he co-founded and conducted The Philharmonia Ensemble, a student chamber orchestra.  As Music Director, he led the orchestra in a series of diverse and exciting programs with appearances by such renowned artists as pianist Rita Sloan, soprano Carmen Balthrop, and the Prism Brass Quintet.  In 2003, he made his operatic debut conducting Dominick Argento’s A Water Bird Talk with The Philharmonia Ensemble and Handel’s Xerxes with the Maryland Opera Studio.  His connection with the University continues to this day where he now serves as Managing Director of the National Orchestral Institute, a program of the School of Music.
