Music

I enjoy singing in classical choirs, and I have composed music for varying ensembles of vocalists and instrumentalists. I am interested in different kinds of 'classical' music, ranging from the early Greek period to current times. I sometimes flirt with popular music and the double bass (or at least I used to).
