Description

I have been performing the violin at weddings and parties for 30 years. I can do solo violin or get together any combination you're interested in (within reason). My private studies included professors Shmuel Ashkenasi of Chicago, Stephen Clapp of Juilliard School of Music, Miriam Zweig of Indiana University, and Felix Andrievski of the Royal College of Music in London. I have also studied with Steven Isserlis in London and Performed with Paul Coker in London. I have performed in 17 symphonies around the country and have soloed with many of them. I am currently a member of the Rochester Symphony and the Mankato Symphony. I have played with The LaCrosse Symphony, Sioux Falls Symphony and the Waterloo Symphony in Iowa. Some of the other artists I've performed with, or for, are Itzhak Perlman, Misha Dichter, Bob Hope, Lyle Lovett, George Bush, Sr., Linda Ronstadt, The Beach Boys, Vince Gill, Cho Lang Lynn, Gil Shaham, Kioko Takazawa, Nadia Solerno-Sonnenberg, Yefmin Bronfman, and Sarah Chang. I just finished my degree at MSU where I have been on the faculty as the violin teacher. My prices depend on how many are in the group and how far we have to travel. I just recently added electric violin to my performing skills. It's a blast. :)
