Message

I perform with the desire to “bring as many people as possible into contact with as much music as possible.” From familiar tunes to original works composed for my instruments, from solo to ensemble, I play across all genres and configurations. If you have any requests, I would be delighted to hear them. I can perform not only in concert halls, but also in cafés, bars, live houses, and other venues, with or without sound equipment. Please feel free to get in touch.
