About

Hello everyone! I am a classically trained bassoonist who has been performing professionally for over a decade. I moved to New York City a few years ago (great timing, right?) and have been fortunate enough to perform in many ensembles around the city and tri-state area. Performing in someone’s apartment is often times more exciting to me than performing in Carnegie Hall, because I love connecting with people through music. And what better way to do that than through intimate, social performances. Whether it’s through singing a simple tune together or sharing a personal story about a specific piece, I always strive to give the audience a new way to connect with the music.

Music

From Tchaikovsky to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I feel comfortable performing a wide range of genres. Every week during the summers, I perform in Central Park with a rotating group of other musicians where we perform music that includes Renaissance dances, Disney songs, and pop music.
