About
I have loved playing the cello since age 4. Currently, I study with Kee Kim of the Parker Quartet at Harvard.
My past teachers have included Matthew Zalkind, Timothy Eddy, Hans Jørgen Jensen, Steven Doane, Rosemary Elliott, Amit Peled, Jonathan Koh, Jurgen de Lemos, Silver Ainomae, Claudio Pasceri, and Rainer Eudeikis.
Below is a video of some of my more recent playing, and the sidebar contains links to other recordings I have made. A more complete list can be found on my YouTube channel. I have also compiled a list of the major solo and chamber repertoire I have played. Additionally, I have listed past summer festivals below.
