As a pianist, collaborator, and educator, my artistic purpose lies in exploring the music I play, collaborating with others, and connecting with audiences. I celebrate the repertoire of past and present in my performances with various ensembles, including as a founding member and pianist of Trio Zenia, a professional piano trio (violin, cello, and piano) dedicated to inspiring and enlightening in the concert hall and beyond.
