Why I like playing with the ESO

Tuesday evening rehearsals give me the opportunity to reveal my creative side, as music helps me step away and process the rest of my week. Playing with friends makes the experience even more enjoyable!

Favorite composer or piece

It’s a tie between Beethoven’s 9th Symphony and Mahler’s 1st Symphony

When I’m not playing with the ESO, I’m…

Managing clinical trial supplies and coaching gymnastics

Something most people don’t know about me

I am late to every Saturday dress rehearsal because I am coaching tiny ­3-year-old gymnasts
