Chamber Music Performances: BKO

Bend the Knotted Oak (BKO) Concert Series: Collaborative Cellist

BKO is a concert production organization that serves the community in Columbia County NY and neighboring counties. BKO is dedicated to presenting innovative programming of solo and chamber repertoire featuring contemporary, and less well-known composers from the past. Funded in part through the Community Arts Grants/Decentralization Program of the NY State Council on the Arts. It has been my honor to be invited as a featured artist on their series of programs, and to contribute in the research and curation of the concerts.
