Very excited to be seemingly turning a corner on the pandemic and have been performing a ton! I’ve been lucky to continue subbing regularly with the Phoenix Symphony including this past week where I had the opportunity to rip some solos from classic broadway tunes… a thrill and nice to play some of that music again.
As some may have heard, my dear friend, mentor, and colleague, Alan Hood, took a hard fall and is currently in rehabilitation. I am humbled, as always, to step in and cover his position at the University of Denver while he is in recovery. If you would like to contribute to his gofundme or check on his progress, please visit: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-al-hood-in-his-recovery
