​2024 - 2025​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Welcome to my 2024-2025 season — I'm happy you are here! This season brings multidisciplinary collaborations, chamber music, and solo performances to venues primarily in Greater Boston, all centered around the marimba. September begins with a residency at Goethe-Institut Boston with spoken word artist Dzidzor, culminating in a performance-installation of sound, photographs, videos, and text. October brings my Boston recital debut with Ashmont Hill Chamber Music, joined by bass clarinetist Amy Advocat and violinist Brian Stuligross. Continuing with firsts, I make my Celebrity Series of Boston debut in February with two collaborative performances with marimbist Maria Finkelmeier and choreographer/dancer Jenny Oliver. See you at a show!
