Music makes people’s lives better. It is at the same time non essential and also one of the most essential parts of our existence. Whether you are a fan of the latest popular genres, rock, country, blues, jazz, rap or classical music, it is more than likely something which plays an important part of your daily life. Classical music is my language. When I am on stage and communicating the most transcendent music to any audience I am bigger than myself, and it is this incredible life-giving power which I seek to share and transmit to my listeners.

Classical music is for everyone! Through its infinite subtleties, it demands our full attention and speaks to us about ourselves in the profound ways which only music can. Through my concerts I seek to provide a format where those new to classical music can discover something remarkable they didn’t know they would enjoy and where

seasoned concertgoers can perhaps listen with fresh ears. My passion is to create integrated, themed concerts with dynamic commentary, which can become compelling emotional or spiritual experiences… and may even be fun too! My goal is to take “high art” off of the top shelf and to share a wide variety of classical music - from the great classics to music of our own time - without gimmick, but in the most accessible way to as many people as possible.
