Introduction
Hello!
I have been a resident of the Raleigh/Durham area for over 20 years, and have been an active performer for about 10 years. I have played in high-level ensembles such as the Triangle Brass Band, Triangle Wind Ensemble, Neuse River big band, and with the Triangle Youth Ballet for their performances of the Nutcracker. I have also performed with the Akron Graduate Brass quintet during a year of extended education at the University of Akron (Akron, OH). I currently play at various churches in the Raleigh area.
I love playing chamber music, especially with performances and services involving organ accompaniment. I am available for liturgical, weddings, and other special services, as well as brass bands or orchestral settings, and I am open to travel (I want to do more traveling!)
