Life Behind Bars

“I am a firm believer in spending my time immersed in the fruits of genius composers whose inspiration, craft, and insight elevate my life experience and bring transcendence in some way to my everyday existence.  It serves as the marimba’s core elite repertoire, a coming of age for the instrument. If you are what you eat, if you are the sum of your experiences, I am fortunate to have been able to spend so much time immersed in these works. I am pleased to share this collection of pieces, and my efforts through them, with you.”
