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.
