Music
I have a really deep love for chamber music and am always happy to play in any ensemble. Much of my repertoire is the heart of the violin sonata repertoire. I particularly love Franck and Strauss sonatas! Basically, as a collaborative pianist, I’m basically always happy to play anything with people!
