Baltimore Symphony Orchestra performance

Playing 2nd flute in the BSO is quite amazing. My first concert (Sept 22) included Dvorak's New World Symphony . Countless solos keep the piece more than exciting and the orchestra was phenomenal! The BSO is performing Dvorak in Spain, Italy, Slovenia, and Austria at the end of October on our European tour.

I'm performing the Nielsen Quintet on October 16, 2005
