I'm a conservatory-trained musician with 30 years of experience (including tours with Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore). I play violin, viola, flute, recorder, and anything with a keyboard; I also compose and arrange. I'm new to the Albany area, and I'd love to find more people to play with. I'm a skilled sight-reader and a good improviser, and I enjoy playing anything from Mozart to electronica.

I'm particularly fond of offbeat stuff that doesn't fit into any one style -- stuff that doesn't sound like everything else out there. I'm always trying to expand my musical horizons, so if you've got an interesting project where a string player might fit in, please get in touch!

Influences:

Lots of stuff...Paul Hindemith, J.S. Bach, Blackmore's Night, Anthony Newman, Crüxshadows, English country dance music, blues...really, I try to let just about anything I listen to influence me in some way!

Equipment List:
