Visionary Sound

I am a California-born musician based in Brooklyn, NY. I play the harpsichord, organ, hurdy-gurdy & medieval organetto. My passions for history and art inspire me to create musical landscapes that evoke the past and transport listeners beyond all trouble and care.

Canticle

As a musical child from large, loving family, I was fascinated with the piano given to us by my grandparents. Between this and my father's love of gadgets (he brought home a state-of-the-art stereo system after remodeling our house in 1990), I began exploring my love of music through plunking  on the piano keys and letting the sounds of the Dance of the Knights from MTT's seminal recording of Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet  wash over me.  Through my education, I was rewarded with the tools and motivations to become a professional musician, which ultimately brought me to the study of early keyboards.

I graduated with honors from Boston University in 2015 with a Master of Music in Historical Performance. That autumn, I began doctoral studies at Stony Brook University in New York. After earning my doctorate in Harpsichord Performance, I completed my formal education at the Juilliard School, earning a Graduate Diploma in Historical Performance on full scholarship.


I currently teach, play & work primarily in Brooklyn. I am the Music Director at the vibrant Church of the Holy Apostles in Windsor Terrace. I instruct and accompany the Bach Ensemble at St. Ann's school and co-direct the Greenwood Children's Community Chorus, founded in 2024. As a soloist, I have played keyboard recitals at the Flintwoods Collection (the world's largest collection of playable antique keyboards), as well as for Gotham Early Music Scene in Manhattan and Music Sources in the San Francisco Bay Area. Some recent collaborations have included Repast Barqoue Ensemble (hurdy-gurdy), St. Luke in the Fields (organ), The Phoenix Symphony (harpsichord), & Trio Medieval (organetto & hurdy-gurdy).
