PROFESSIONAL POSITIONS AND EDUCATION

PRINCIPAL SECOND VIOLIN, BOISE PHILHARMONIC

2012 - Present

The position that keeps me busiest throughout the season.  The Boise Phil is the premiere symphonic ensemble in Idaho.  Principal second violin is a key leadership role, and requires being a liaison between the melodic first violins and the lower voices in the strings.  As part of this position, I regularly work with students from the Boise Philharmonic Youth Orchestra and perform with the Boise Philharmonic String Quartet.

ASSOCIATE CONCERTMASTER, BOISE BAROQUE ORCHESTRA

2018 - Present

Serving in an acting capacity in this role from 2018 to 2022, I officially won this position in August 2022.  Boise Baroque is in the middle of a transition to being a historically informed performance ensemble, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it!  This position allows me to work closely with visiting world class Baroque soloists, such as Julie Andrijeski, Monica Hugget, and Phoebe Carrai.
