About

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. I began studying the violin at PS 8 in Brooklyn Heights, moving on to private lessons at the Third Street Music School in Manhattan, back when a subway token cost 15 cents.

In high school, I attended the Manhattan School of Music Preparatory Department and during the summer attended the arcadian Kinhaven Music School.

Attending the New School of Music in Philadelphia (a conservatory founded by members of the Curtis Quartet) I studied violin with Jascha Brodsky and Geoffrey Michaels.

I have played chamber music and been a member of numerous orchestras in the USA and Europe including Orquesta Bética Filarmónica de Sevilla (concertmaster), the Frysk Orkest in the Netherlands, and the Reading, York, and Harrisburg Symphonies (concertmaster).

In 2008, I attended the Berklee College of Music String Fling, where I studied improvisation for string players with John Blake, Eugene Friesen, Rob Thomas, Matt Glaser, and Christian Howes.

I have lived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania since 1984, freelancing, performing, and teaching.
