About
Hello! Originally from New York City, I currently live, teach, and perform in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. My greatest loves in music are solo and chamber music performance, everything from duos to string quartets and beyond! I received my Bachelor of Music degree in Cello Performance from the Bard College Conservatory of Music, my Artist's Diploma in Cello from the Glenn Gould School of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, as well as my Master of Music and Graduate Diploma in Cello Performance from McGill University in Montreal. I am currently pursuing my Doctorate of Musical Arts in Cello Performance at the University of Toronto.
Music
I play and have experience performing many different styles of music, from classical to popular and spiritual. I also specialize in contemporary person and working with living composers to perform the music of today. Some of my favorite composers are Copland, Rachmaninoff, Bernstein, Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, and I love playing arrangements of songs by Sting and the Beatles!
