bows
There is a vibrancy after a concert, a deep satisfaction and glow. These are some of my favorite images as they capture the vivaciousness and warmth that permeates us after an evening of music. This is the stuff we live for!
joy
Music really can uplift the spirits. Its exuberance, strength and joy guide me through good times and bad.
in the flow
Being in the moment and creating music with other people⎯⎯for other people⎯⎯is what makes me feel alive and gives me a deep sense of meaning and belonging.
portraits
Thank you to photographers Helge Strauss and Claudia Hunter for their keen eye.

Here are a few impressions of making friends with listeners and fellow musicians.
