I am a classically trained professional violist and violinist, conservatory trained by Juilliard teachers for violin pedagogy, viola, orchestral playing and conducting, and am trained in the classic "Galamian" school of playing. I am a professional, eclectic player of Viola and Violin, and I play many "styles" of music.
I hold a Ph.D., the highest academic degree in Music, (Comparative Musicology/Music Physics and Applied Analytic Music Theory) with a performance minor in Viola performance. I have performed publicly since the age of 5, and started music at the age of 18 months. Music enriches our lives in many ways. Sharing my violin or viola music, by performing live events, for everyone, is my passion. Social event performing is very special and it adds charm, elegance, class and beauty to any event.
I have performed extensively in professional symphony orchestras, opera, ballet, and show orchestras, in different chamber music groups, both classical and as a "gig" musician in the northeastern US and US Mid Atlantic region. I have also taught music at several universities and taught privately for most of my life. I am recently retired from higher education classroom teaching and now can share my performances and love of music as a violin and viola player to and for all and at most any time. I love sharing my passion for music and have a lifelong commitment and devotion to music.
My musical inspiration, playing wise, comes from the passionate playing of the Russian school of violin playing, Klezmer music, Klezmer violinists, and Gypsy violinists. I play "from my heart"-it's passionate, it's virtuosic and it's professional. I am continually inspired and encouraged by my closest and very very dear friend, my lifelong comrade, professional classical concert violinist and fine art photographer
Alexander M.
When I am not doing music related things, I enjoy spending time with my two beloved dogs, the Tzigane (Ziggi) and little brother, Maurice, Coton de Tulears. (Their names are from my favorite composer, Maurice Ravel, who wrote an amazing piece entitled "Tzigane" for violin.
My hobbies are Creative Photography, ,
Creative Watercolor, Art/Urban Sketching, vegan cooking, and biking.

String Duet of Violin and Cello
DIVA DUO VIOLIN AND CELLO!
The most popular group and the most versatile. The Cellist with whom I most often perform is my very good friend, and we have performed together for over 25 years, though we lead very independent lives as musicians, teachers, and family folk. She holds degrees in music, including studies beyond her Master's degree in Cello performance and also teaches private strings and music part-time at university level.
