MUSIC BIO

I started playing Baroque bassoon at 13 years old under the guidance of Dr. Anna Marsh. I was a member of the Seattle Historical Arts for Kids - Early Music Youth Academy from 2022-2024. Some highlights from my youth include being the recipient of Early Music America's 2023 IDEA Workshop Scholarship, performing at Oberlin Conservatory of Music's Baroque Performance Institute, and performing at Amherst Early Music Festival’s Baroque Academy. In 2023 and 2024, I won several platinum, gold, absolute first, and special award prizes on Baroque bassoon for Best Young Artist, Best Baroque Performance, and Best Sonata Performance in seven international competitions.

I currently attend college at the prestigious music conservatory Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland. I am working on a B.A. degree in historical bassoon performance under the guidance of Carles Cristóbal. I perform regularly with Schola in Switzerland on Baroque bassoon and on dulcian. I actively play in oboe band and open air projects on Barqoue bassoon with Professors Alexandre Zanetta, Jean François Madeuf, and Philipp Wagner, and I also perform with Schola’s alta capella ensemble on dulcian with Professor Ian Harrison. Once a year, I perform with the La Cetra Orchestra in Basel, Switzerland on Baroque bassoon, and I participate in numerous student lead projects. In 2026, I participated in a recording for an original composition created by my peer Tilman Clasen titled “Concerto a 8 flauti”.

Outside of Schola, I am an active member of a professional ensemble group where we perform kammermusikabends in Freiburg, Germany. I have also had the pleasure of performing with the Freiburger Kantorei in Freiburg, Germany. With the Freiburger Kantorei, I had the honor of performing a forgotten oratorium “Hiskias” by Johann Peter Salomon.
