The most memorable experience being on the stage is the Percussion Collective Concerto concert with Aspen Music Festival Orchestra in Aspen, CO in August 2019!
I love working with friends and working with composers to create new music for percussion.
Vic Firth Sticks help me to become more have diverse voices through music.
