Piano
About
I began studying piano at age 4, and studied solo piano throughout grade school with Dr. Ian
Hominick at the University of Mississippi, and throughout college with Dr. Fred Weldy and Dr. William Wellborn at Stanford. While at Stanford, I also studied collaborative piano with Laura Dahl and chamber music with Dr. George Barth, and worked as a vocal accompanist for Claire Giovannetti. I am an avid chamber musician, and I am a rehearsal pianist for the Berkeley Community Chorus, as well as the Chora Nova vocal ensemble in Berkeley. I have a particular interest in playing and creating transcriptions of orchestral works for chamber ensembles (recent examples include arranging Brahms's D minor Piano Concerto for Piano Quintet and Bartok's Dance Suite for piano four-hands). I find the process of examining a work and recasting it in a new form so that audiences can experience it in a new light to be very enjoyable and meaningful.
Music
My repertoire is rooted in the classical tradition, from Bach and Mozart to Debussy and Prokofiev. I enjoy performing solo works as well as with a wide variety of musicians and ensembles.
