Postponed!

Due to yet another massive snow storm here in the Midwest, we have had to postpone our ProBono recital for tonight. I'll make an announcement when we have a new date.

ProBono Recital

Tomorrow night, I will be performing with the low brass quartet, ProBono, at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. We will be doing a masterclass at 4pm, followed by the recital at 8:00pm.
