May has been a great month, and still not quite over. Tonight and tomorrow night I will be performing with Rhymes With Opera, performing in Anna Meadors' "Manifesto On the Ledge." We will also be performing Frederick Rzewski's "Attica," and a new work by Matthew Triplett will also be performed. The performance will take place tonight, Saturday, May 30, 8 PM, and tomorrow, Sunday, May 31, 1 PM, at HB Theater, 124 Bank Street, New York.

I am thrilled to announce that starting this summer, I will be performing with the Hudson Valley Philharmonic as their Assistant Principal Violist. My first performance will take place on Saturday, July 31, 8 PM, in New Paltz, NY, performing Brahms' Symphony No. 4, the Adagietto from Mahler's Symphony No. 5, and a Piano Concerto that will be announced later. The members of the Hudson Valley Philharmonic will also be performing with Peter Cetera at Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center, on Sunday, August 2, 7 PM.
The rest of the summer will include a bit of down time- some writing, some practicing, some running, some quality time with family and friends, and a few small trips to Cape Cod & Boston, Eastern Long Island, San Francisco, and Montreal. If you are in and around New York, or any of the other places mentioned above, drop me a line!
Stay tuned for more blog posts in the coming weeks!
