Repertoire
My repertoire focuses on Romantic Era and Contemporary pieces but within this range I am strongly drawn to works written by Beethoven in his late period, Schubert, Brahms and others that strike a spiritual chord with people. I am also putting efforts into introducing the French Romantic Era composer CH.V.Alkan, as well as showcasing new compositions and performing with various instruments.
