CELLOSMITH

People tell me all of the "I love the cello!"  I agree!

The cello is an intriguing instrument with a rich history.  Many believe that the cello's deep appeal is that the instrument's range most closely resembles that of the human voice.

​

Since the cello appeared on the scene, it has held many musical roles.  I enjoy being an explorer on these many musical adventures on well-trodden paths (classical), and some less explored ones (pop, traditional, jazz, etc).  Cellosmith is always looking for new adventures!

​

I prepared for these journeys with music degrees from Florida State University and the University of Miami.

​

I am honored to share the stage with many wonderful musicians. I am a member of the Hendersonville Symphony, the Spartanburg Philharmonic, and the Piedmont Chamber Orchestra. I also serve as the Principal Cellist of the Western Piedmont Symphony and the Brevard Philharmonic.

 

Sharing and encouraging a new generation of cellists is important to me, so I maintain a teaching studio online and at the String Station in the Western North Carolina mountains.
