It is a joy to share with you the things in my life that form the basis of my passion for living. For me, we commune with our soul when we enter the realm of music.

I hope you will find the contents of this site interesting, informative, amusing and entertaining. It would be my pleasure to interact with you to answer questions or communicate in any other way so please feel free to email me at will. A special link to note is the one to my beloved Montreal Chamber Music Festival, celebrating its 14th consecutive season in 2009. It has proven a wonderful vehicle providing me the opportunity to bring my musical colleagues and friends to my home town. As well, it is a fabulous platform for me to present to Montrealers the emerging talent of exceptional quality that I have the opportunity to rub shoulders with.

There are photos - some more kooky than others - links to some of my favourite sites, my bio and articles I have written as well as a section devoted to sharing ideas about improving practicing and playing and general advice for cello and music students. I do love teaching!

Enjoy and please send me comments. And remember, there are two kinds of people on this earth - the kind that pick you up and the kind that pull you down. Stay close to the first kind and you will be OK!
