Most memorable performance with the ESO

Playing the 4th horn solo in the Beethoven 9th Symphony!

Favorite ESO soloist

Irina Muresanu

Why I like playing with the ESO

Good repertoire, good people, good music.

Favorite composer or piece

It’s a tie between Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto and Borodin’s 2nd String Quartet. (I know, not very typical for a wind player.)

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

Teaching math at an arts high school, watching the Cubs, reading Holocaust and science fiction books, spending time with family and visiting friends around the globe.

Something most people don’t know about me

The strap on my horn case is from my dad’s bowling ball bag.
