Journal:

  • TuBassoon at U-Nite - On the evening of April 11th… (Read more), I per­formed as part of the sec­ond annual U-Nite, a mini-festival of the arts at Sacramento’s Crocker Art Museum. The event fea­tured fac­ulty and stu­dents from the var­i­ous parts of Sacra­mento State’s Col­lege of Arts and Let­ters. Per­form­ers and exhibitors were sta­tioned around the museum, pre­sent­ing short pro­grams of music, dance, film, the­ater, visual arts, and the writ­ten word. My col­league Julian Dixon and I played in one of the gal­leries as the duo TuBassoon.

 

Recordings:

  • Audio recordings of Georg Philipp Telemann's Fantasy No. 1 in C Major and Philippe Hersant's Hopi for bassoon alone, both from the 2012 Meg Quigley Vivaldi Competition and Bassoon Symposium.
