Ted has served as a top editor and music critic at High Fidelity magazine, Musical America, New York Times, and The Washington Star, and acted as programming consultant and coordinator for the John F. Kennedy Center's "Tribute to Germany" in 1992. He is author of "Symphonic Portraits: A Classical Portfolio," the "Performance Today Basic Record Library Booklet," and of histories of the National Symphony Orchestra and Carnegie Hall, as well as a forthcoming study of violinist Isaac Stern. Ted was a co-producer of the 1996 NPR Classics release "J.S. Bach In Performance," and served as repertory consultant and co-producer of Time-Life Records' Beethoven Series and Great Composer Series, which went platinum in 1991.

Ted graduated cum laude from Yale University as a Yale National Scholar, and during graduate school was appointed assistant conductor of the Stanford University orchestra. He spent a year as director of the Composer/Librettist Program at the National Endowment for the Arts, and in 1988 received the United States Information Agency's Award for Outstanding Service as a consultant for USIA's Artistic Ambassador Program. Ted also composed the score for the award-winning film "Home of Hope," and several of his arrangements have been performed at Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center.
