About
There's nothing like connecting with music on a personal level, and that's what I love bringing to audiences in settings more intimate than the concert hall. These masterpieces are for everyone and I promise you don't need any musical background to enjoy them.
For a little background, I have two degrees in piano performance and enjoy playing as a soloist, as well as collaborating with faculty members of the Peabody Conservatory and National Symphony Orchestra.
Let me share with you the shenanigans of the lives of these composers. Let's talk about what we're listening for and what this music does to us. And of course, let's enjoy the party!
