Violin II

Most memorable performance with the ESO

They are all memorable.

Favorite ESO soloist

Mark O’Connor, Colton Peltier, Irena Muresanu, so many impressive young musicians.

Why I like playing with the ESO

I like the challenge of learning new music, playing old pieces and making beautiful music with other talented musicians.

Favorite composer or piece

Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Dvořák, Mozart, Beethoven, Richard Strauss, Schubert…I like them all!

When I’m not playing with the ESO, I’m…

In Florida (our residence), Montana, traveling with my husband, with our four grandchildren, entertaining houseguests, learning golf and bridge, taking photographs, reading, working out and (of course!) practicing the violin.

Something most people don’t know about me

The late Chicago Symphony principal violist Milton Preves was my teacher and mentor for eight years. I really miss his tutelage.
