Most memorable performance with the ESO

The Moldau by Smetana. I played this piece when I was with the Midwest Young Artists in junior high school and always wanted another chance to play it.

Favorite ESO soloist

Matthew Hagle, playing the Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major.

Why I like playing with the ESO

It’s a great group of musicians who are clearly passionate about making music!

Favorite composer or piece

Tchaikovsky

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

Working as a marketing professional in Evanston, cooking and trying new restaurants and pubs with my husband.

Something most people don’t know about me

I had to search for a smaller full-size violin because my hands are so small and regular violins are too difficult for me to play on.
