Liszt Romance Oubliée on Viola Alta
PERFORMANCE
I am proud to be a member of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. In my work with this musician-led ensemble I can be heard in orchestral, chamber, and solo roles.
A slightly unhinged viola-piano duo with pianist Pierre-Nicolas Colombat. Making Wagner role over in his grave since 2022.
RECORDINGS
WRITING
I enjoy writing about music analysis, music criticism, music history, and culture. I have written a significant amount about Wagner and Wagner-tangential subjects as part of Wagner’s Nightmare. My writing has been published by The Strad, The Anglican Way, CREATED, and The Journal of the American Viola Society, and I have a Substack where I (mostly) review CDs.

TEACHING
