Welcome to my page! I am now in my second season with the percussion section of the Lakeview Orchestra, and first season as a board member. I joined the orchestra to reconnect with my orchestral performance roots and to be part of a large group of like-minded musicians bringing classical music to the northside of  Chicago. It has been a joy to be part of this community and to see the smiles on the faces of our audience after each concert. As you'll read below, we are fundraising to ensure the orchestra's future, and make sure we continue to make high-quality classical music accessible to the community at our home in Lakeview. Thank you for helping me and the orchestra achieve our goal!

Lakeview Orchestra is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization celebrating more than a decade of artistic excellence. This spring, the orchestra has a goal to raise at least $25,000 as part of our Our Symphony, Our Future! campaign, which will allow us to continue bringing classical music to the greater Lakeview community. 

Every dollar raised will go directly to helping us achieve our mission and this year’s priorities that include:

• Increasing Accessibility for the Community – This season, we’re offering 250 free student tickets to help young audiences and families experience the magic of live orchestral music without financial barriers.
• Expanding the Guest Conductor Program – We’re welcoming three distinguished guest conductors, each bringing fresh perspectives and elevating our artistic programming. Their expertise will challenge and inspire both our musicians and our audience.
• Enhancing Member Experience – With 88 dedicated musicians, we’re investing in rehearsal space upgrades and new artistic development opportunities to ensure our members continue to refine their talents and deliver exceptional performances.
