Upcoming Performances

Bio

I'm a cellist and bassist living in the Boston Massachusetts area. I play mostly classical music on the cello and mostly jazz on the bass, though I've dabbled in musical theater, bluegrass, folk, klezmer and other Jewish music.

As a bassist, I have performed with Harvey Diamond, Hankus Netsky, Stanley Sagov, Ted Knowlton, Burnett Thompson, Oren Levine, Ken Navarro, Marcello B, Tad Elmer, Roy Nathanson, Katya Dreyer-Oren, Beth Logan, Hannah Rose Diamond, Scott Goulding, Joe Musacchia, and others. Mostly self-taught on bass, I have taken some lessons from Richard Davis and more recently from Marcus McLaurine at the Vermont Jazz Center, as well as coaching from Harvey Diamond, Satoshi Takeishi, Eugene Uman and Pete Yellin. I am a former member of the jazz quartet About Time and the Washington Jazz Battalion big band.

I have studied cello with Glenn Garlick, Irvin Klinkon and Ben Levinson, and as well as a master class with János Starker. I have been a member of the Boston Philharmonic and the Fairfax Symphony and have played in freelance groups such as the National Gallery Orchestra.

I also teach both cello and bass.

During the day I work as a math tutor and computer science tutor in Lexington MA. Before that I worked as a math teacher and software engineer.
