CLASSICALLY TRAINED - CONTEMPORARY MINDSET

As a dedicated practitioner of saxophone performance and an advocate for the continued evolution of this instrument, I am persuaded that a solid pedagogical foundation in sound, technique, and repertoire must be coupled with the skills to tackle the music and reality of our contemporary times.

Contemporary performance and a distinct attitude toward both chamber music and interdisciplinary practices allows me to experience and disseminate art in ways not often explored.
