Concert pianist, artist teacher.
These are recordings of live events during my piano concertizing years in Northern California. Along with my love of Rachmaninoff and Ravel, I often chose more obscure pieces to perform. Their lack of predictability and uncommon virtuosity were distinct challenges. As winner of the Artist's Showcase Competition in Redding, California, I appeared three times with the Shasta Symphony Orchestra and performed the MacDowell Second, Rachmaninoff Second, and Saint Saens Fifth piano concertos. I also performed solo concerts at California State University, Chico; Shasta College, Redding; College of the Siskiyous, Weed; and the Crocker Art Museum Gallery in Sacramento. My performances were featured three times on the local PBS affiliate. I hope you enjoy these performances!
