He earned two Bachelor's Degrees (History & English) in 1993, and two Master's Degrees (Music and Comparative Literature) in 1996. In September 2004, Charles completed his PhD in Theology, with a special emphasis in sacred and classical music. A concert pianist, Charles studied piano with Michael Mauldin, Rita Angel, Myung-Hee Chung, and Arlette Felberg. He is fluent in five languages and has a great love of literary and cultural studies.
Charles founded the Symphony Orchestra of Albuquerque in February 1997, and has been Producer of the group since that time. The business had now expanded to include the Albuquerque Academy of the Arts (which Charles has managed since May 2000), the Elementary Music Outreach Program (which has taken music to thousands of students annually and has received both local and national attention), and the Symphony Adult and Youth Choirs. All of these branches have been combined into the "Symphonic Endeavors Corporation."
The Symphony Orchestra of Albuquerque, the Albuquerque Academy of the Arts, and the Elementary Music Outreach Program have now been coillated into an organization named "Symphonic Endeavors."
