Since moving to the area three years ago, he has performed with the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera and other area orchestras and has taught in several area schools, including Cleveland State Community College, Girls Preparatory School, Baylor School and McCallie School. He and his wife own Southside Studio, a teaching studio and intimate performing venue in Chattanooga.
The concert will be at the George R. Johnson Cultural Center Theater at Cleveland State Community College. Admission is free but donations of $10-$15 are appreciated and needed to help support the orchestra.
