2008Most memorable performance with the ESO
Playing the finale of the Fiddle Concerto with Mark O’Connor. He is such an impressive, masterful improviser!
Favorite ESO soloist
Mark O’Connor & Wendy Warner
Why I like playing with the ESO
It really is fulfilling and exciting to be part of an orchestra filled with so many talented musicians and to be constantly pushed and challenged by a gifted conductor. In my years with the ESO, I’ve grown as a musician and have developed special friendships.
Favorite composer or piece
Vaughan Williams — Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis
When I’m not playing with the ESO, I’m…
Most importantly, I enjoy my days raising my two young boys! I am also a math tutor. In my bits of spare time, I enjoy trying new recipes, card-making and most recently, cross-stitching. I love a good creative project!
Something most people don’t know about me
I traveled to Australia as an 11-year-old violinist touring with the Cincinnati Junior Strings. We saw The Marriage of Figaro in the Sydney Opera House and snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef.
