Contemporary Collaborations
This page reflects my collaborations through the years with living composers, musicians, and ensembles.
Here, you can find audio and video recordings of the contemporary pieces I have performed,
along with links to the websites of the various collaborators I have either worked with directly or admired from afar.
If you are interested in performing any of the pieces listed here or commissioning a new work from one of these composers,
I encourage you to contact them directly.
