About

Her all-embracing repertoire ranges from classical favorites to adventurous new works. She has been principal cellist in Baltimore-based Symphony No. 1, Peabody Concert Orchestra, and the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, CA. She was a founding member of the Adorno String Quartet, selected for public masterclasses, and performances by invitation from the Charleston Symphony League, as well as the Beethoven Institute in New York City.
