whose yo-yo mama?

I had a busy month of February and March. I performed great literature in a short span of a couple days and had some other amazing experiences.

First of all, Krista, my sister, is married. I have never seen her look more beautiful or more happy (well, she was in a dress). I think she her marriage will be great, and I am happy she found a guy like Greg.

In order of performance:

I was the violinist for the Dwight-Englewood Production of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. I am grateful for the fast rehearsal performance process because it really helped me solidify my violin skills. Also, the musicians were fun and have real professional jobs, so it was great to perform/meet them. Who can complain to play a Menken score anyway?

I was a guest violist with the NYU Chamber Orchestra for their performance at St. Joes. It was so wonderful to play Bartok's Divertimenti and Dvorak's Divertimento. Both are so beautiful and great rep to know. I loved meeting the violists and getting to play with them.

I performed in NYU's production of STREET SCENE. Now, here is an AMAZING AMAZING score. The three hours went by so fast, and I couldn't get enough. The musicians were great, and I couldn't really hear the singers to have an opinion, but the set was gorg and operatic, as it should be.

I did a recording session for a hip hop artist, but I cannot really talk about who or what the project was. It was a fun experience to do a session. I miss doing them. Luckily I have more coming up this month!

In other news:

I loved the Oscar telecast this year, and am so glad THE ARTIST took the top prize.

I saw a great show called ASSISTANCE at Playwrights-Horizons. SO good. So funny. It is not one of those where you LAUGH out loud all the time, but it is one of the funniest I have seen in a while!

My roommate Ryan Breslin opens in NEWSIES on Thursday! So happy/excited for him.
Ben get's off of ImaginOcean tour on Saturday, and I couldn't be more thrilled!!
