I am a freelancing violinist and pianist who loves to play for weddings, children's birthday parties, and other celebrations. I'm primarily available to perform Fridays through Sundays in the Tri-Valley area (Livermore-Dublin-Pleasanton). My principal teachers have been Yehonatan Berick (formerly University of Michigan, currently University of Ottawa), Zinovi Kaplan (Israel Philarmonic), Vladimir Zyskind (Manhattan School of Music), John McGrosso (formerly St. Louis Symphony, currently Ariana String Quartet), Eric Lawson (formerly Michigan Technological University, now Alpena Symphony Orchestra), and Anna Lim (Princeton University). An event planner can expect an enjoyable and consistent performance every time.
