Evanston-based performer, teacher and composer

PC: Fiona Shonik

As a graduate of Northwestern and Rice Universities,

I grew up in the rich tradition of Chicago-style orchestral brass playing and pedagogy, with its emphasis on sound, sustain, and projection, coming from the flow-centered approach of Vincent Cichowicz.
