I sometimes share my performance schedule with students in case there is an opportunity to see a live concert. Here is a list of some of the performances I was involved with over the fall and winter and a list of upcoming engagements. I feel very fortunate to have so many opportunities to perform with such wonderful ensembles and musicians in the Chicago area.
