#Viola

It's time for a long-overdue service for my viola - I've only recently started playing properly again, after a 25-year hiatus. First stop: the bow people, to discover if the nice violin bow I summarily rejected aged 18 in favour of a 'proper' viola bow is actually a viola bow after all.

Live Wire ⚡ for #fotovorschlag "Gewitter" / "Thunderstorms"

We get a lot of purple lightning around here - which I've heard is caused by high humidity! It's also, in my opinion, very pretty! ✨

Announcing “Flight of Ecstasy”!

Over the course of two weekends in June 2025, I had the immense privilege of participating in a three-concert series around Los Angeles County featuring SOCAL-CELLO-CENTRIC: a group of local composers and musicians. Twelve of us were invited to compose brand new original works featuring the cello in various ways, and we all pitched in together to perform each others’ works for local audiences.

For my part of this project, I embraced my long-time love of Nordic symphonic-metal — think bands like Within Temptation and Nightwish — to create a driving and fierce string trio called “Flight of Ecstasy”! Here, this video below takes the best moments from all three concerts during its premiere run to create a taste of what a joy it was to perform this work, joined with Julissa Bozman on viola and Kathryn Carson on cello.
