I am a professional violinist. As a result of competitive auditions, since 1966, I have performed with many orchestras and chamber music groups. I have also played as a violin soloist, and my experience includes the following. I was concertmaster of my junior high/high school orchestra. I was first violinist in the Montgomery County Junior/Senior Youth Orchestra. and as a member of the Senior Youth Orchestra, I participated in the First International Festival of Youth Orchestras with performances in St. Moritz, Switzerland and Vienna, Austria. I played in American Youth Performs at Carnegie Hall. I played in the Wolf Trap Academy National Orchestra at Wolf Trap Farm Park in Vienna, Virginia for two summers. As a professional violinist, I have performed at various locations in Washington, DC for big receptions, weddings, political fundraisers, etc. I also played in the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra and the Filene Center Orchestra at Wolf Trap Farm Park. And I played as a violinist (popular/Broadway tunes, strolling) on many occasions for the Gene Donati Orchestra. In addition to professional engagements in the Maryland/DC area, I play in NYC on a regular basis, just about every other month, at venues including Birdland for Jim Caruso's "Cast Party" on Monday evenings and at Butterfield 8 for Trudi Mann's musical showcase on Sundays. In NYC, I can also be seen playing for the musical salon on Sunday evenings at the famed Algonquin Hotel. I also have the pleasure and honor of playing tunes with legendary "lounge" pianist Irving Fields at Nino's Tuscany Restaurant on various evenings. I have also played "blues" violin with "Montana" in Baltimore, Maryland. I am eminently qualified in classical and popular "strolling" styles, and I also improvise. I do not play "electric" violin, only "traditional" violin. I also trained on voice for several years, and my experience there includes a performance under Leonard Bernstein. I've worked with many well-known conductors and celebrities including Leonard Bernstein, Alexander Schneider, Morton Gould, Beverly Sills, Anna Moffo, Rudolph Nureyev, Irving Fields, and Diana Ross, to name just a few. Part of my musical resume is posted at www.violinist.com under "Maryland" violinists in the "Directory."
