Dario Marianelli:  “Atonement” Suite
I had the great pleasure of working with Dario Marianelli and the Spartanburg Philharmonic on this work, which features cello and piano. This clip is an excerpt from the orchestral suite which gets its main theme from the movie, “Atonement”.

I am passionate about chamber music;  it is my preferred performance medium.  One of the most rewarding experiences of my life has been to play with the Ritz Chamber Players.  They are an amazing ensemble of talented professionals from all over the country, and they will probably be performing in your neck of the woods!  Check out their website:  www.ritzchamberplayers.org.  The following videos are performances with this ensemble.

The year before I moved to Fairfax, VA to join the faculty at George Mason University, I had the pleasure to meet and perform with pianist Daniel Weiser.  Dan moved from Vermont to Asheville, NC, and brought a successful house concert series  with him, called “Classicopia”.  The following clips are from that series.
