This project, including the recording Jack and I made earlier in the year, was the culmination of my time at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and more generally of my life as a student. I graduated later that week. Performed on May 16, 2022 in Sol Joseph Recital Hall at ...

My first master's recital was originally scheduled for mid-March of 2020, which also happened to be when the COVID-19 pandemic hit San Francisco in full force. As luck would have it, the San Francisco Conservatory went completely online two days before my scheduled recital date. After rescheduling twice and being forced to cut almost half of my planned repertoire, I was finally able to perform ...

From my second master's recital at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music on May 19, 2022. Performed in Caroline H. Hume Concert Hall with professor Jack van Geem. A huge thanks to Joint Venture Percussion Duo (Rachel Zhang and Laurent Warnier) whose all-Ravel duo album inspired me to make my own adaptation of this keyboard work. I performed the whole suite on my recital, but this is my person...

Andrew Thomas' Three Transformations for marimba duo consist of three movements that each "transform" a keyboard work of Johann Sebastian Bach. After years of listening to this work, I had the harebrained scheme to pair each movemen...

Second of two encores from my final recital at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music on May 8, 2022. Performed in Sol Joseph Recital Hall. Adapting from full choir to marimba solo is tricky.

From my final recital at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music on May 8, 2022. Performed in Sol Joseph Recital Hall. Adapted from solo piano. I debated for a while whether or not this could work as a solo marimba piece, since so many notes would have to be left out. It turned into a very enlightening adapting exercise, having to choose which notes were most important and trying to maintain as...

From my final recital at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music on May 8, 2022. Performed in Sol Joseph Recital Hall. This piece was originally written for solo guitar but, miraculously, I didn't have to change a single note to translate it to the marimba.
