You've Heard The Cello Before, But Not Like This

This is where it clicks.

You Think You Know The Cello...

You've even heard modern songs in classical style. But you haven’t heard it done like this. I transform famous songs into emotional soundscapes that slow people down — and wake something up.
 

I enhance a variety of occasions with a wide array of musical styles, in spaces large and small, calm and busy, from the casual to the sacred. I simply use a cello, iPad, and sound system.

It’s the kind of performance that guests talk about long after the last note.

Hidden Gems

A few of my favorites that don't show up on every setlist, but could. 

 

These songs aren't just rare to hear on cello. The arrangements are one-of-a-kind and deeply moving when performed live.
