Violin and Piano

Music was a big part of my life. Inspiration came from growing up listening to classical music and going to live symphony performances.

Always wanted to be part of an orchestra or ensemble. My musical experiences have broadened and I now play with Tapestry Opera premiering new works, and performing with the Canadian Iranian Orchestra.
