Solo and Chamber recitals
I have performed solo and chamber recitals throughout the continental United States, and pride myself in creating interesting and engaging programs that communicate and entertain audiences.
Solo:
The world of solo harp repertoire is a vast sea of beauty. Even if you know nothing about the harp I can design a program around the specific wants and needs of your festival, institution, or concert series. I am widely experienced in performing music of all styles and always aim to educate audiences in a way that allows the music performed to be enjoyed in unexpected ways. Audiences will enjoy an insiders view of the harp world as I explain the significance of specific works, their context in the larger world of music, and my interpretation of the music.
Solo recital fees begin at $600.
Chamber:
To create music with another person is to truly know them. I have had the great honor of knowing some truly spectacular musicians over the years, and through them I have gained a uniquely engaged perspective on chamber music.
My primary chamber ensemble, Kontra Duo, with my partner Dannel Espinoza is the project that I am most proud of. We know each other so well at this point that the music that flows through our ensemble feels effortless and light while still maintaining a forward energy and driving power. Harp and saxophone may seem like an unusual ensemble, and it is. But, I truly hit the jackpot when it comes to saxophonists. Dannel is a uniquely skilled musician, whose brain works far beyond the simple notes on a page to create an entire tonal concept to the music he performs. We have been capturing the imaginations of audiences for over 6 years and are constantly working to build new and exciting programs to present to our ever growing fan base.
Chamber recital fees start at $800.
