Bassoon

I play bassoon in multiple orchestras and ensembles. I studied in Linz with Franz Jungreitmayr, and in Irvine with Elliott Moreau. Currently, I play second bassoon in the Redwood Symphony, and enjoy playing in woodwind quintets with friends mostly for fun (and sometimes for concerts).

While being in Irvine, I played regulary with the following orchestras and ensembles:

• Second bassoon at the UCI Symphony Orchestra
• First bassoon at the UCI Wind Ensemble.
• Several small ensembles of the chamber music class at UC Irvine

In the past time in Linz, I played regularly with the following orchestras and ensembles:

• First bassoon at the Johannes Kepler University Orchestra.
• Woodwind quintet Il Quintetto Gio-Vento, managed by Catrin Stepanek.
• Second bassoon at the orchestra of the music school in Linz.
• Second bassoon at the wind ensemble Stadtkapelle Leonding.
