I am a professional cellist who has performed with many musical organizations, playing a variety of styles and genres, including solo, symphonic, opera, musical theater, and chamber music. I very much enjoy the sense of connection and exchange that comes from collaborating with other instrumentalists, singers, conductors, and directors.
