This site situates my music in the context of creative entrepreneurship, experimental solo trumpet playing, spirituality, and Judaism. My trumpet playing is a reflection of the different systems of knowledge I’ve become well-versed in over the years. As a performing artist, I exist within the paradigms and structures of the classical tradition, but I also draw way outside their lines. My music has led me to create events in the desert, parties in beach towns, and planning windows of paradise through the arts. It has also led me to engage in conversations with elected officials to reinvigorate local creative economies. I work with composers to breathe the mysticism of ordinary life into being. And I enter and take others into states of heightened awareness and consciousness. Fundamentally, at the end of the day, my music is about bringing peace and justice to this world, much in alignment with the mitzvah of tikkun olam.
As a teacher, I help young musicians build their musical skills through an integrated approach involving the whole person.
As an experimental trumpet soloist, I work with composers to bring magic to music and help create expansive and immersive concert environments that bring a window of peace and sanity amidst a difficult and chaotic world.
As a creative entrepreneur, I work with people in a variety of different sectors and industries to establish peaceful and sacred events and environments that bring different communities of practice together for immersive experiences.
I am a classical trumpet soloist, creative entrepreneur, teacher, marketing writer, community engagement specialist, and event producer. Wearing multiple hats allows me to communicate with different communities of practice.
I am equipped with nine years of professional performance experience across the continental US; eight years of professional music pedagogy for all ages stemming from a teaching fellowship at the University of Oregon; and eight years of professional copywriting and marketing writing/communications experience; and three years of fully funded event production experience. I currently offer private and group music instruction.
