VIOLINIST s Having
played the violin for 15 years, I have developed technical and expressive
skills that allow me to play a wide variety of the world’s instrumental
repertoire, whether these works were written for solo, chamber, or orchestral
performance. I have played with
symphony orchestras as well as pit orchestras and small chamber ensembles, for
which I have made many arrangements and transpositions. I hold a deep appreciation and understanding
of the forms of western musical theory and composition. The creation of precise, stirring music is a
pleasure, joy and enrichment for me, a lifelong, hallowed passion. s
