Sort of an “all-round pianist”. I specialized in popular music and jazz in my education, but have focused mostly on classical in later years. I do some occasional arranging and composing.

Re: WELCOME TO OUR NEW YEAR COMMUNITY CONCERT
I’d like to play Chopin Nocturne op 27 nr 1 and 2, or just one of them if it’s not time for both. Looking forward to the concert!

Re: Autumn Recital!
I’m very sorry, but have to withdraw from the program. I’ve been moving this autumn, and had a little too much on my plate here. Will surely be back for the next one!

@Juan Carlos Olite You convey a very special mood this. Pictures and tones working very well together, and I could definitely feel the footsteps and the slower texture of winter. Bravo, Juan Carlos!
