Retirement Community Performance!

Growing up I played multiple times a year at various retirement centers. It was a way to give back to the community and share some musical joy with the seniors. It was also a way to prepare for upcoming performances and auditions.

Thursday Feb. 27 I’ll be entertaining the residents at Northfield Retirement Community with the Bows, Strings, & Contentment Orchestra! Looking forward to this as well as our concert at The Grand in Northfield on March 9 🙂

Cello for your Valentine!

Happy Valentine’s Day! I was once hired to perform on this special day.. at the airport! A very thoughtful gentleman hired me to perform at the gate while his girlfriend was getting off the plane. She had a very long flight, coming halfway around the world. He had roses ready for her and of course, a ring.

I played while people got off, it seemed like forever.. she was one of the last passengers to exit the plane and there he was, down on one knee while I played behind him. She was clearly exhausted but when she realized what was happening she smiled and fell into his arms.

It was so sweet! She said YES and everyone around us cheered.. What a special day! I wish someone had taken photos but I will always have this special memory 🙂

Hello Minnesota!

Wow what a crazy journey this has been! I’ve been in MN almost 2 years.. I moved here from California sight unseen and… I really like it!!

My cello did not like the move at all, especially driving 26 hours in the middle of winter. Fortunately I found a great string shop in Minneapolis, House of Note, to take care of my baby. My cello and bow needed some very important repairs and they did a great job! They even helped fix my case so I didn’t need to buy a new one.

I’m excited to be a part of the musical community here in Southern Minnesota! I’ve been performing in various orchestras and symphonies including the Owatonna Symphony Orchestra, the Cannon Valley Regional Orchestra, and Northfield’s Bows, Strings, and Contentment Orchestra.

Looking forward to more performances and teaching students the magic of music through the cello!
