What brought you to Rochester and how did you become involved with The Rochester Pops Orchestra? | |
I grew up in Rochester and returned to live here after college and now am raising a family here. I heard about the Pops at the time of its inception and knew I had to be apart of it because it was bringing something different to Rochester and was going to be so much fun- and it has! | |
What is your favorite style of music to play? | |
I love all styles because of the challenge but I’m a sucker for musicals and movie music | |
What inspires you to play? | |
The challenge to keep growing as a musician and use my skills. Ultimately to bring joy to others when we perform our music— we need music in our lives! | |
What is your favorite piece/concert that The Rochester Pops has played? | |
There have been so many but I really enjoyed our concert held at the new Lourdes High School which we performed several numbers from films. | |
What do you do in your free time? (ie hobbies) | |
When not chasing after two young boys I enjoy crafting (using a Cricut machine) to make cards, wall art, t-shirts, etc. I also love reading, shopping, binge watching shows on Netflix and taking walks on nature trails or around the neighborhood. | |
What’s your favorite candy and why? | |
I’m a milk chocolate fan but my favorite candy is Raisinettes – chocolate covered raisins. I can’t stop eating them once I start. | |
If you could teleport where would you go and why? | |
I would teleport to a beautiful white sandy beach by the ocean. Just to feel the sun and walk the shoreline whenever feeling a bit stressed or needed a break. | |
