Concertmaster WSO

From 1998 through 2018 I was the Concertmaster of the Wichita Symphony Orchestra. In my time with the orchestra I performed many solos, including Vivaldi Four Seasons, Bartok Violin Concerto #2, Mendelssohn Violin Concerto, Scheherazade, and Ein Heldenleben.

My role as Concertmaster of the Wichita Symphony Orchestra was a continuation of my leadership positions in other orchestras. Previous to this I was Concertmaster of The Vermont Symphony Orchestra and The West Virginia Symphony Orchestra. I was also Principal Second of the Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra of Boston.
