Several of my summers have been spent at the Meadowmount School of Music, Aria International Music Festival, the International Workshop for Strings in Austria, the Amalfi Coast Festival, various Suzuki festivals, and most recently, the National Orchestral Institute at University of Maryland in 2008.

Chamber music is also of great interest to me, and I play in various orchestra gigs and also weddings with pianist and organist Melanie Many. I am a sub with the York Symphony in PA.
