My quartet at the rex hotel bar and blues in Toronto! Featuring my favourite tunes and people :)
Had the coolest opportunity to share the stage with bass legend Noriko Ueda at Walter Hall. Noriko's compositions are so beautiful!
A fun project I put together for class. I'm a huge sucker for string quartets and think the texture of the ensemble highlights harmony in such a magical way.
