I first became acquainted with early pianos at Harvard, where I was very taken by Robert Levin's lectures and his Mozart performances. Subsequently I studied historical performance practice with Malcolm Bilson on a generous fellowship from Cornell University. I have continued to perform as a fortepianist, both as a soloist and with the Aurelio Ensemble.
