About

I started my musical life as a flute player, when I was nine. Like many woodwind players, I looked at the string section with a mixture of jealousy, fear and total incomprehension. But then, the stars aligned, or what have you, and I was able to act on a secret wish: to play the cello. After a false start with a truly terrible rental cello, I bought my own in 2006 and haven’t looked back since.

I began this journey in London, England, where I played with some truly amazing amateur orchestras and had the chance to work at Southbank Centre (Royal Festival Hall). I had my son in August 2009, which has made practising a bit tricky, and we’re moving back to Canada shortly. An international cello journey, if you will.
