Go for it in any situation!

Exciting concerts abounded in the last few months!  The end of the concert season always features many exciting concerts, but I had a little more excitement than I imagined! At the Columbus Indiana Philharmonic concert, my horn broke mid-concert and was not fixable until the next day.  With a great section, we were able to make it work - thanks to a great team, my part was covered and horns were swapped, making it work.  I had to remind myself no matter what to go for the music and play beautifully, because that's what the audience is there to hear.  Lesson to all students - anything possible can happen - be ready to make it work in any situation!

 I also had exciting news that weekend, honored to find out that I am the newest member to have chair sponsorship in the CIP! I am so touched and honored, excited to continue my journey with the CIP.
​ 
Finally, I also had a great weekend performing the Haydn Double Horn Concerto with Ericka Tyner Grodrian at Valparaiso University. We had a wonderful time collaborating together, and I especially enjoyed the opportunity to perform on a descant horn (pictured below).  Even professional players are not always accustomed to playing different horns for different pieces, and I really enjoyed the learning experience of the different colors and sounds I could produce.  I really enjoyed the freedom and liberation to go for it, playing on such a special horn!
