I play a mix of classical and contemporary music (Bach, Faure, Piazzola, Villa-Lobos, Clarke, Gaubert, Higdon, Daugherty, etc.). I'm also a big fan of playing pieces originally written for other instruments. No matter what music I'm playing, I want the piece to have a story and leave the audience with something to hum as they leave.
