Welcome to my website. I am a native Seattle cellist and give recitals, perform in chamber music groups, give cello lessons and play at events here in the Pacific Northwest.
     I perform recitals with composer/pianist Peter V. Stevens and also with pianist Lisa Maria d'Aquila. On the recitals page you can find when and where you can see us perform. I also have listed some other cello concerts you may be interested in going to.
     To the benefit of myself and my students, I continue to learn more about cello technique. Since graduating from Juilliard, where I studied with Leonard Rose and Harvey Shapiro, I have also studied with Eric Wilson ( 2nd place Geneva Competition) and James Kreger Assistant to Harvey Shapiro for 25 years and winner of the Tchaikovsky competition.
     My sincere congatulations to those brave beginning students who performed at the student recital on December 19th 2010 at the Seattle Symphony Sound Bridge Recital Hall. Tera was kind enough to photo shoot the recital and here is a link to those pictures. Our next student recital is in late April 2011. Keep practicing. I am very proud of you...
     I have posted a video showing some bow crontrol exercises on the samples page for begining students. Hope they are helpful.
