I haven’t posted any playing in a while, so I figured I’d share this clip of the John Williams Tuba Concerto cadenza! This was a live performance I did around a month ago for the student showcase here at Blair, and I was really happy with how it came out!

About halfway through NRO, figured I’m due for a post with far too many photos. I’ve really been enjoying Colorado, so many great colleagues, experiences, and performances. Looking forward to the rest of the summer, including traveling to Canada next week for the ITF!

Didn’t get to posting this, but in December I had the opportunity to perform the Nutcracker with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra and Ballet!

I’ve had the most incredible six weeks at @festivalhill.institute this summer, playing outstanding repertoire with amazing conductors, musicians, and faculty!

For my first stay in Texas, I had the time of my life playing incredible repertoire, eating amazing food, and studying on the Round Top campus! Incredibly thankful to everyone who made this summer so wonderful!
