Hello!
Playing the cello and sharing music is one of my greatest joys in life! I perform as a soloist and with various ensembles, bringing a resonant and expressive sound to every piece. As a session musician, I'm comfortable with both sheet music and improvisational playing, providing an effective and professional recording experience.
Please note: I do not play as a soloist for wedding ceremonies or funerals.

I will bring a stand and music, a bench, and my cello in a large case. The case preferably should be stored in a different area. My minimum space needs are 5’ diameter area. I prefer to arrive 30min-1 hour early to set up, tune my instrument and warm up inside the room. Additional services such as dress rehearsals are available upon request.
