Unchained Melody – Righteous Brothers 1965

This project was definitely a labor of love but I like how it turned out! A lot of musicians online will just play over a backing track of guitar, drums, keys, etc. I decided (as always!) to record multiple cello tracks and do it all myself.. that way it is 100% cello!!

This song has been stuck in my head for weeks so hopefully now it will leave my psyche for a little bit.. I can’t even imagine how into this I would have been back in 1965!!

Romantic Flight from How to Train Your Dragon

So much gorgeous music comes out of popular movies!! I actually have never seen the How to Train Your Dragon series but I know most of the songs lol..

This piece was requested for a bride to walk down the aisle too! When researching it I realized that many people are doing so, I think it’s a great choice: simple and elegant 🙂

Carleton College Spring Orchestra Concert

I was asked to join the Carleton College Orchestra for their spring concert and I am so glad I did! The selection of music was amazing, the conductor James T. Chang was amazing, the musicians were amazing.. I almost cried about 4 times during the concert.

My two favorite pieces that we played are very very different from each other. The first is so interesting and inspiring!

Jessie Montgomery’s 2012 piece “Starburst”

We had a wonderful piano player who soloed Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2. It’s such a beautiful piece in every way, so moving!
