Visionary Sound

I grew up in California in a large, loving family, and some of my earliest musical memories center on the piano my grandparents gave us. My father loved gadgets and technology, and after remodeling our house in 1990, he brought home what seemed to me an impossibly sophisticated stereo system. Between plunking at the piano and letting the Dance of the Knights from Michael Tilson Thomas’s recording of Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet wash over me, I became fascinated by music and by the worlds that sound could create.

That fascination eventually led me to early music and historical keyboards. I studied at Boston University, where I earned a Master of Music in Historical Performance with honors, and at Stony Brook University, where I earned my doctorate in Harpsichord Performance. I completed my formal studies at the Juilliard School with a Graduate Diploma in Historical Performance on full scholarship. Along the way, my musical world expanded to include organ, clavichord, medieval organetto, and hurdy-gurdy.

After more than a decade on the East Coast, I returned home to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2026. Today, I perform, teach, and direct music in the Bay Area and beyond. My work moves between solo and chamber music, historical keyboards, church music, teaching, and directing, united by a curiosity about how music from the past can feel immediate and alive.

As a soloist, I have performed for the Flint Collection in San Francisco, Gotham Early Music Scene in New York, and MusicSources in the Bay Area. I have also performed with Tenet Vocal Artists, The Clarion Music Society, the Sebastians, the Fort Greene Orchestra, Repast Baroque Ensemble, The Phoenix Symphony, Trio Mediæval, and the Church of St. Luke in the Fields.

Whether I am playing a medieval melody on the organetto, directing a choir, teaching a student, or sitting at a harpsichord, I am interested in the same thing: using curiosity about the past to create something vivid in the present.
