About

Classically-trained, independent professional musician based in Cleveland, OH. Founder of the OPUS 216 ensemble and Director of Classical Revolution Cleveland.

While completing a B.M. and M.M. in Violin Performance at the Cleveland Institute of Music, I began freelancing with the realization I loved working independently - freelancing allows for incredible flexibility, collaborative opportunities, and I'm challenged daily to hone my craft and diversify my performances in new ways. I love sharing the music I love, with people I love, in a city I love! Cheers!

Music

My repertoire is an ever-changing, nonstop-flexing rotation of pieces to suit the diverse range of programming I undertake from week to week as an independent creative artist. Classic/traditional solo repertoire includes sonatas and concerti by Bach, Brahms, Ravel, Debussy, Beethoven, Mozart, and Vivaldi. Recent chamber works include Haydn, Shostakovich, Piazolla, and Shoenfeld piano trios; string quartets by Dvorak, Glass, Mozart, and Beethoven, trios by Dohnanyi, and others.
