(April 2026) My profile on From the Top has been released!  You can click here to listen to it on the NPR website (my segment starts right after the 6 minute mark and goes for about 12 minutes, but listen to the whole show!).  You can also find other ways of listening and when it will be broadcast by your local radio station by clicking here.

(March 2026) I went to Boston this month to attend FTT (From the Top) to prepare for my appearance on the show. From the Top is an NPR-distributed radio program that highlights young classical musicians.  My show will be released on April 27!

(January 2026) My new piece, "Road Map USA", was premiered at Mannes Prep on January 10th.  It is a Pierrot Quintet (flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano) and was played by students from the Mannes College of Music.  Listen to the live performance here, the MIDI rendition here, and soon to be on YouTube.  My piece was inspired by the artist Tom Nussbaum's sculpture, "Road Map,  America".  Visit his website here: www.tomnussbaum.com
