About

Hi all! I am a performer, educator and a sporadic composer. I think that what makes music so special is its ability be shared and it's great responsibility to share stories. I play a vast repertoire ranging from solo viola, duos, quartets and bigger ensembles, form Bach to Piazzolla, Shostakovich to Granados. Check out Quijote Duo for more!
