I felt called to music as a very small child. I began learning to play the violin at the age of ten and went on to complete a standard course of studies in classical music. Still eager to expand my repertoire with new pieces and forms of expression I devoted myself to historical performance practice and for the last thirty years have made a career as a specialist in the early violin. My professional life has been blessed with many collaborations with other musicians -- highly skilled and sensitive, curious and innovative -- as well as wonderful concert experiences throughout the world -- on modern stages, and in a wide variety of historical venues, ranging from the quaint to the grandiose. In recent years I have found great pleasure and satisfaction in arranging popular Renaissance tunes and composing a few tunes of my own for a small string band. My broad experience in chamber music and historical performance practice allows me to offer musical coaching for ensembles or individuals who are interested in widening the paths of discovery which lie beyond the technical aspects of music.
