| Introduction | I'm an American horn player studying in Switzerland. I graduated from the University of Memphis in 2011 with degrees in music history and performance. I've worked at the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, Memphis Music Camp, Shelby County Fine Arts Academy and the Rutherford County All-Star Band Clinic. I've performed in the Summer Masterworks Festival Orchestra and at the PRIZM Chamber Music Festival. In addition to summer festivals, I've played with the Delta Symphony Orchestra, Corinth Symphony, Wolf River Chamber Orchestra, and the PRIZM Ensemble. Additionally, I've performed in various pickup groups throughout the Mid-south and played in the pit orchestras for Desoto Family Theatre and Playhouse On The Square. Recording projects have included the debut CD of The Magic Kids, a local band in Memphis, titled MEMPHIS, as well as a CD of music for Wind Ensemble by Eric Ewazen, produced by Albany Records. |
