VIOLIN HISTORY | HOME

Welcome to SoCalViolin.com! I am a violinist, located in the San Fernando Valley. I have played the violin for most of my life and am devoted to passing on the great tradition of modern violin playing that I have learned through my extensive studies and performances over the decades. I am also dedicated to the cause of unearthing forgotten violin repertoire and bringing it back to the concert stages. I have an affinity for contemporary 20th century violin works. Please see my REPERTOIRE below.
