About Me

.. I quantum physicize about many things - worldly and unworldy things; things important and ironic; free yet possessed things; things absolutely untouchable and unatainable; things within myself; things that swirl around me; things I KNOW are insatiable that fold endlessly upon themselves, and yes, I do this on a regular basis.
(I think do this just as much as I do practice my discipline and passion for music)
Anyway, I am a musician of many talents. I am continuing on into my fourth season as a first violinist with the DeKalb Symphony Orchestra . I am in my second season - and last season - as a percussionist in the Georgia Perimeter Wind Ensemble. I am also an aspiring coloratura soprano in the grand world of opera. I teach music and run a teaching studio from my home. I am currently pursuing a degree in Vocal Performance with emphasis in Piano from Georgia State University ..
.. MY UPCOMING CONCERTS:
Sunday, September 14th - 3:00pm in Rialto
The Georgia State University Symphony Orchestra and University Singers will perform an all Brahms concert in memory of David Reader. Works include Brahm's Symphony No. 3, Nanie, and the last movement of Ein Deutsches Requiem
