Japanese Garden Wedding Ceremony

I had the pleasure to play at a very intimate wedding for about 8 people in the Japanese Garden at the University of Minnesota Arboretum.

If you are having a small ceremony this is a great location! The waterfall added a wonderful background sound for the classical cello music.

I have played intimate weddings for just a handful of people, to 50 guests at a vineyard, to hundreds of guests at a large hotel venue. I always arrive extra early to sound check so that my cello sounds the best for that particular location. I take requests from the bride and groom for their custom ceremony music so that each wedding is unique!

September concert!

I’m excited to be playing again with the Cannon Valley Regional Orchestra on Saturday Sept. 6th at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Northfield, MN at 7pm!

This is part of Northfields Jesse James Days and is going to be really fun Cowboy themed music.

And a photo from out last concert in March 2025 🙂

Sparkles for a Snowstorm

At the very end of March we got one final mini snowstorm. I was performing in a small town that took 45 minutes on a two lane road with parts of it being dirt. Leaving the venue, the snow was blowing with 40mph winds, visibility was very low, and the dirt had turned to snowy mushy mud! It was worth it though, what a beautiful way to end winter 🙂

Wonderful March Concert

What a great time last Sunday was! We had a wonderful music selection with pieces from popular movies and musicals as well as guest tango dancers, a banjo player, and a powerful vocalist, Tesfa.

The Grand is such a nice space to perform at. Even with a balcony it’s still an intimate venue with a rich history. Looking forward to the next Bows Strings & Contentment Orchestra concert on June 15th, 2025!

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!
