Marlboro Slipstream Group Performance
Finally performed our first show with Marlboro Slipstream Group at Marlboro College after months of rehearsal. We presented some work by Ned Rothenberg as well as Matan Rubinstein's tone poem Terraplane. Challenging music, with some tricky electronics mixed in.

Stan Charkey retrospective concert
I had the privilege of performing my father's music at Marlboro College in honor of his retirement this year. I played his string quartet, a short piano trio, and his devilishly challenging work for solo cello, Open which is perhaps the most difficult piece I've ever played.
