Performance Highlights
Artistic exploration by its very nature must extend conventional boundaries; it must challenge the mind, the ears, the heart. Long ago, I became intrigued by music that took me beyond the familiar conventions of structure and style, music that required alternative approaches to interpretation and practice, and heightened sensitivity towards musical expression. This practice continues to feed my inspiration as a musical artist and I welcome opportunities and collaborations that challenge and fulfill the creative process.
