I don’t usually post that much these days on my socials except for the odd story update on Instagram but for those who don’t know, I’ve really focused the next stage of my violin and musical development on playing chamber music, and more precisely, with my string quartet,
@prometheus_quartet .
We’ve had quite the year already: Collaborating with
@clairechaseflute at Juilliard on a new work by Terry Riley, being featured at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center (
@chambermusicsociety ) in a Masterclass with Paul Watkins, working intensively with my string quartet heroes
@calidoresq at their annual seminar (another Paul Watkins masterclass there too) and have an upcoming residency in Fort Worth with the Chamber Music Society of Fort Worth (
@chambermusicfw )!
Recently, we were accepted to attend the Schiermonnikoog Festival (
@schiermonnikoogfestival ) in the Netherlands where we will study with Marc Danel of Quatour Danel! This is an incredibly rare opportunity to work with the best in our field and will help us so much in our preparation for upcoming auditions and competitions.
Unfortunately, to fund the entire quartet, we are looking at costs of upwards of $3,000. We’ve created a GofundMe to try and help with the costs and if anyone would be willing to help the quartet through a donation or spreading the link, my colleagues and I would be so immensely grateful!

We hope to play for you all sometime soon and look for more updates about me and the quartet in the near future!
