Performances

Another fun project with Upton String Instruments:

Solo Recital

If you missed my solo recital in October, don't fret! I'm giving another solo performance on Thursday April 16, 7pm at the Westfield Athenaeum, Westfield MA. Some of the same works will be performed, and likely with some different repertoire.

This is a rare opportunity so don't miss this one!

News

I'm happy to announce that I've recently successfully auditions into a higher-tier contract with the Hartford Symphony Orchestra. I've so enjoyed playing with the group for the last two years, and really look forward to continuing on a more regular basis!

Fall 2025 performances are on the calendar! Hope to see you at the concert hall.
I've started a collaboration with Upton Bass recently, recording videos to highlight their inventory on social media. It's been a really fun project, and super interesting for me. Check out the videos on Instagram and Youtube.
In 2025-26 I will be giving two solo recitals in western Massachusetts: October 26th at 52 Sumner, Springfield MA and April 16 in Westfield MA. These will be two different programs with different collaborators. These are very special opportunities to hear seldom-performed repertoire written or adapted for solo bass.
