Flute

In my free time, I am an amateur flutist. I have studied flute since 2011, and was a music double major at Pomona College. My primary teachers have been Catherine Ransom Karoly (Los Angeles Philharmonic), Rachel Rudich (Pomona College), and Linda Holland. I also spent two summers in Israel studying with Guy Eshed and Yossi Arnheim of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and four summers studying at the Orford Music Academy in Quebec. You can check out my playing on my YouTube channel!

Research on Mieczysław Weinberg

At Pomona, I did substantial research on the Jewish Polish Soviet Holocaust-era composer Mieczysław Weinberg. For my music major, I wrote an extensive thesis examining qualities of identity, narrative, and memory in Weinberg’s music, and I also presented a recital of my transcriptions of his nearly-lost cello works. Two of my transcriptions are currently in the final stage of publication with the international publishing company Peermusic Classical Europe. I continue be passionate about resurrecting Weinberg’s music.
