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!

Other than this performance and a very few others, I will be on family leave for spring and summer 2026.

News

I've recently successfully auditioned 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 much busier schedule!

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 a solo recital in Westfield Massachusetts on Thursday April 16, 7pm. These will be a revised and expanded version of the program given at 52 Sumner this autumn. This are very special opportunity to hear seldom-performed repertoire written or adapted for solo bass.
