Most memorable Next-Level Performance
Playing with a great ensemble like the Colorado Symphony is always exciting, but every time I get to perform with the orchestra at Red Rocks Ampitheatre in front of 10,000 people…that is inspiring! -
What Drives Your Creativity?
I love that music makes me feel joyful and connected to people. When an audience member, or other musician, shares with me that my music making was meaningful to them, I know that all the hard work is worth it.
