In a couple of weeks I will be performing a recital in my hometown of Lewistown, Montana.  It has been six years since I last played a recital there, so I am very much looking forward to "going home again" with a program of unaccompanied flute music.  The program will be diverse - Bach, Berio, Bost, and more - and will include performances on flute, piccolo, alto flute, and bass flute.  For all friends, family, and music lovers in the area - the recital is free of charge, open to the public, and the specifics can be found on my schedule page.  Take care --

I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season!  The fall semester at NYU is officially complete.  I think I can say it was a highly successful first semester of coordinating the Chamber Music Series, and it was a typically busy but really wonderful wrap-up of classes and concerts these past few weeks.  I am glad to have a bit of time off to work on some of my own projects and to spend time with family.  Best to all --
