Self-employed

I had my first major solo performance in 2003 as the winner of the Imperial Symphony Orchestra Young Artist Competition. I performed The Elgar concerto with a full orchestra, and from that moment I was hooked. Over the years I have had over 20 solo and collaborative performances ranging from Solo Bach cello suites to Louis Andriessen's "La Voce" A piece that requires me to sing and speak Italian while playing. being a soloist requires preparation, attention to detail, and nerves of steel. All of these things can be learned, and I can now teach them.

The Julius Quartet

For six years I was the cellist for the Julius String Quartet. In that time I had the privilege of studying string quartet playing at the highest level with members of the Julliard Quartet, The Brentano Quartet, and The Escher Quartet. We worked in a residence position with the Shanghai Quartet at Montclair State University and With Rhonda Rider at the Boston conservatory. We performed in many venues including The Bing Center at Stanford University, Rolston Hall in Banff, Canada, and a full recital at Carnegie Hall.

Kappa Alpha Psi ®, now comprised of functioning Undergraduate and Alumni Chapters on major campuses and in cities throughout the country, is the crystallization of a dream. It is the beautiful realization of a vision shared commonly by the late Revered Founders that enabled them to sow the seed of a fraternal tree whose fruit is available to, and now enjoyed by college men everywhere, regardless of their color, religion or national origin. It is a fact of which Kappa Alpha Psi ® is proud that the Constitution has never contained any clause which either excluded or suggested the exclusion of a man from membership merely because of his color, creed, or national origin. Kappa Alpha Psi ® is the 2nd oldest existing collegiate historically Black Greek Letter Fraternity and the 1st intercollegiate Fraternity incorporated as a national body. It remains the only Greek letter organization with its Alpha Chapter on Indiana University’s campus. The Fraternity has over 125,000 members with 700 undergraduate and alumni chapters in nearly every state of the United States, and international chapters in Nigeria, South Africa, the West Indies, the United Kingdom, Germany, Korea and Japan.

Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity of America (also known as Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, Phi Mu Alpha, or simply Sinfonia) is an American collegiate social[1] fraternity for men with a special interest in music. The fraternity is open to men "who, through a love for music, can assist in the fulfillment of [its] Object and ideals either by adopting music as a profession, or by working to advance the cause of music in America."
