January Reflections

If the rest of 2015 turns out to be as fantastic as the month of January, I'm in for quite a treat! This first month has been chock full of successes, promising developments, and confidence-boosting events.  Here's what's new:

• I passed the "pre-screening" round and have been invited to pass a live audition for the Doctor of Music degree at Indiana University. Even though I am currently a student at IU, the pre-screening process is incredibly competitive and it is an honor to be invited to audition in person. The audition and interview process takes place March 2-3. 
• I am a finalist for the Jacobs School of Music Travel Grant Competition! The first round involved a 10-minute long video recording (see below), and the final round (in Ford Hall on February 28th) will be a 20-minute performance. Please come support me!
• On February 5th, I will be the featured musician on the public broadcasting show, "Full Circle" (for information, check out www.fullcircleshow.net). I'll be playing excerpts of a Beethoven Sonata and Schumann's Carnaval. Updates to come on when the show airs and how to check out the performances!

Spring is filling up quickly with chamber performances, collaborative recitals, and solo concerts! I'll be on the move quite a bit, so catch me if you can! 

Here's the ten-minute video montage that got me to the finals for the JSOM Travel Competition!
